Der Kleine Cohn - "Little Cohn" - Movable Anti-Semitic Postcard, 1905
Wo ist Kleine Cohn?, movable (undivided) postcard with a coarse caricature and a rhyming caption. [Germany or Austria, ca. 1905]. German.
Movable postcard: when the tab is pulled, "Little Cohen"'s figure is revealed seated in the toilet.
The caricatures of Kleine Cohn ("little Cohen") appeared in many anti-Semitic postcards and illustrations in the early 20th century. His figure first appeared in a song composed by Julius Einedshofer, increasing in popularity until the First World War, and then waning.
14X9 cm. Good condition. Pencil inscription on postcard center. Some stains and inscription on reverse. Posted in 1905.
