La Grande épidémie de pornographie [1][2] (1882, English: The great epidemic of pornography) is a colour litho caricature by Albert Robida first published in the May 6 issue of La Caricature. The accompanying text compares pornography to trichinosis. There was a corresponding double spread article[3] inside the magazine, entitled "Le boulevard tel qu'il sera apres quelques années de pornographie". The design of Robida is reminiscent in form and content to Pornokrates by Félicien Rops, which appeared three years earlier, both using the image of a pig to represent pornography.
