History and profile
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 Crispim 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]
