5 – The newspapers (95 copies)
Apart of the private and public documents devoted to Émile-Jean (166 documents on the site to date – dating from 1848 to 1874 –, but the analysis of the Collection is not yet complete), the Lépissier family is also fortunate to have kept many copies of the newspapers :
- "Le Progrès" Émile-Jean Lépissier's newspaper in Shanghai (Shànghǎi –上海) - (38 copies)
- "Le Nouvelliste de Shanghai" newspaper from his competitor, Mr. Henry Auguste Beer (31 copies),
- "L'Écho du Japon" from Cerf Levy and Xavier Salabelle in Yokohama (25 copies) and,
- "The Tokei Journal" from Devill (1 copy)
These newspapers are, it seems, the only existing collection in the world, to date, at least for "Le Progrès" and "Le Nouvelliste".
