A set of antisemitic postcards. France - published in the midst of the Dreyfus affair
A complete set of 8 antisemitic illustrated postcards published by 'Librairie Antisermite' depicting the Jewish takeover of France, and the Jew's attempt to take over the whole world. Paris c. 1900.
In the postcards, the Jew is grotesquely portrayed in a stereotypical face and long nose, as a manipulative conspirator who controls French money, through which he obtains positions of power and takes over France from within in order to control the whole world. In one of the postcards under the headline: "The New Wandering Jew" the Jew is seen wandering between Paris and Berlin with a bag of money with a sum of 50,000, and the masses of people below are watching helplessly as the Jew takes over them financially. The French publisher of the series, called 'Librairie Antisermite' - advertises itself as a specialist in antisemitic items from postcards to books. Some of the books of the antisemitic Edouard Drumont were published by the same publisher. For example, his famous book "Le Juif Contre la france" - "The Jews Against France" was published by "Librairie Antisermite".
