Volume with 30 fiercely anti-Jewish caricatures from the Dreyfus era

A vitriolic antisemitic publication, dedicated to Eduard Drumont, without doubt one of the fiercest anti-Jewish authors of the Dreyfus era, founder of the Antisemitic League of France, and notorious for his many venomous writings, including La France juive (1886).

The illustrations depict wealthy and influential French Jews, portrayed as well-fed individuals with exaggerated noses, insinuating that they secretly control parliament. They are labelled as criminals obsessed with making money and deceiving their business partners, with captions explaining these perceived tactics. One of the captions explicitly mentions Joseph Reinach, the French politician of German-Jewish descent, who staunchly defended Dreyfus.

Publications like this played a huge role in the Dreyfus Affair, fanning anti Dreyfus sentiments and anti-Semitism in general.
