The publisher Edouard Pelletan's ambition was to rehabilitate the original woodcut. With this in mind, he wrote his manifesto in 1896. Among the many books he produced, two were emblematic, including the Crainquebille Affair illustrated by Steinlen. Crainquebille, a poor four-season merchant, sees his life shattered as a result of a miscarriage of justice. Friend of all the underprivileged, Steinlen is that of Crainquebille who pushes his misery into a popular Paris.
