Published from 1833 until 1836, La Mosaïque was a Paris periodical containing editorials, many of which pertained to slavery. The articles on slavery varied, including an account of immunity to smallpox, ancient enslavement of Greece, a biography of Benjamin Franklin, and a description of a Jamaican plantation. Editorials on slavery in the New World provided authors' views on the institution of slavery. For example, the biography of Franklin applauded his abolitionism and another article deplored the conditions in which slaves lived; other authors expressed neither shock nor sympathy. A number of editorials compared the condition of women to slavery, including women in Russia at the time of Catherine the Great, the role of women in Chinese marriages, and women in Islam.
