This article focuses on the critical edition, description and analysis of 53 covers of the humorous newspaper El Ĵuguetón of Constantinople. They are characterized by the rare use of graphic humour in contemporary Sephardic press. Both images (photographs, cartoons, etc.) and surrounding texts contain invaluable information about the daily life of Sephardic communities in Turkey during the interwar period. In addition, they chronicle the process of westernization, modernization and secularization of the Sephardic Jews of Turkey and the Balkans.
