The Jew Isidore-René Jacob-Paquin - as a Monkey - Antisemitic Poster - Monsters Exhibition


Coquin. Poster No. 24 from the Musée des Horreurs series ["Monsters Exhibition" / "Museum of Horrors"]. Paris, [1899-1900]. A hand-painted lithographic print depicting the Jew Jacob-Paquin one of Dreyfus supporters, as a monkey dips the Cross of the Legion of Honor in a bidet. Paquin won the Legion of Honor on February 19, 1900 Which angered the anti-Dreyfus group who tried to prevent the award, claiming that by law at an advanced age they no longer receive the Medal of Honor, as part of the opposition this poster was issued about a month later, in March 1900. Signed in the plate by V. Lenepveu. French.


The series "Monsters Exhibition" was published during the Dreyfus affair under a pseudonym, and included 51 large posters with anti-Dreyfus illustrations, antisemitic, and against the "Bonim". The series was published in France over a period of about a year, between October 1899 and December 1900. The original plan was to issue 200 Posters in the series, but in fact only 51 came out. The first posters in the series sold over 300,000 copies. In October 1899 the French police arrested a number of peddlers who sold posters from the series on the orders of District Commander Louis Lapin. According to some reports, Lapin ordered the distribution of posters to be stopped following a request he received from Baron de Rothschild, who claimed that the damage in distributing them was irreversible. In February 1900 the local police sent letters in which they threatened to revoke the trade license from Merchants who would sell the posters, and since then their distribution has stopped.
