O Malho (Portuguese: The Mallet) was a Brazilian weekly satirical magazine published from 1902 to 1954. It was based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was the first commercially successful Brazilian satirical magazine during the Republican regime. [1]
O Malho was established in 1902 [2] and the first issue was published on 20 September 1902. [3] [4] Its founders were Luis Bartholomeu Antonio Agnello de Souza e Silva, a member of the Brazilian Parliament, and Antonio Azeredo, a senator. [1] The magazine was headquartered in Rio de Janeiro and was published on a weekly basis. [3] Although the magazine targeted men and women from different social classes, [5] it basically targeted the working-class readers. [1] During the initial years French artist Crispino do Amaral was the main caricaturist of the magazine. [4] Antonio Leal served as the photographer of the magazine. [6] The magazine was part of the O Malho Group which also published a children's and comics magazine, O Tico Tico . [7]
O Malho was the first Brazilian magazine with color pages. [8] The magazine focused on humor and political satire. [9] It contained caricatures and other satirical materials. [1] The magazine also featured musical scores by composers, poems and chronicles. [3] From its start in 1902 to 1926 the magazine regularly featured piano music-related articles in two pages. [5] The work by Elda Coelho on music was covered in the magazine. [5]
Sabino Barroso, president of the Chamber of Deputies, resigned from office due to satirical publications about him in the magazine. [2] [4] In March 1906 O Malho sold 40,000 copies. [1] It folded in January 1954. [2] [3] [4]
