Der Deutsche Michel und die Juden.
Single printed page. Neatly folded. 9.5 x 16 inches.

(Vienna): 1848.

"Jews were behind the French Revolution, Jews jeopardize England, Polish Jews flood Austria, Rothschild seeks world supremacy…"
     Anti-Semitic leaflet by Leopold Oesterreicher (pseud?) opposing proposed notions of Jewish emancipation brought forward via the ideals of the 1848 Revolution.
     Der Deutsche Michel (literally, "the German Michael") is a figure representing the national character of the German people, rather as John Bull represents the English and Uncle Sam represents Americans.
