The article presents information on several literary materials. The American Sovereign is the name which is to be borne by a new fortnightly paper, which will be published partly for the sake of discussing Social Science, Literature, and Rural Affairs, but mainly "in the interest of political purity and in opposition to organized knavery." The new agitation of the land question in England and Ireland, and especially in Ireland is to begin with the publication of a volume of essays of the kind so common of late in England in the treatment of various political and social questions, and of which the "Essays and Reviews" furnished the model.

Ephemera are increasingly attracting the interest of academics and historians. The illustrated poster is one of them, as far as the Western 20th century is concerned. In Switzerland, despite certain eclipses, it has been the subject of public collections for more than a century and of works marked by an essentially artistic and then graphic approach, most often from critics and art historians. However, the field is much broader and is situated first and foremost in economics and social sciences, which provide the key elements for contextualizing the illustrated poster and better understanding it in its artistic and graphic dimensions. The crossing of disciplines is particularly fruitful in poster history. Whatever his speciality, the historian who approaches it must take certain precautions because this world is so complex and interactive. He must be particularly attentive to the establishment of his corpus and to the precise dating of posters, a field that is still little explored but particularly rich, given the international distinction of Switzerland in this field.
