Un soupçon de couleur

These two numbers of the Gaullist newspaper Le Rassemblement show what even a little dose of colour can do for a journal printed in black-and-white. The lack of additional colour was due to economical, not to mention technological, restraints, but we have now gotten well used to our newspapers being printed in a full array of colour. Yes, even the FAZ.

The poujadiste paper Fraternité française took the same route as its Gaullist opposite, as did the nationalist weekly Rivarol. While Le Rassemblement and Fraternité française have long since ceased publication, Rivarol — the « weekly of the national and European opposition » — is still going, and still in red, black, and white.

I notice that the Catholic Herald does something similar.
