Anti-Semitic postcards - Eastern countries, early 20th century
Six anti-Semitic postcards issued in Algeria and Tunisia, early 20th century.
Two postcards mocking the Jewish circumcision, at one The mohel holds huge scissors larger than the entire body of the baby, the baby's face seems to be as frightening, and the audience is enjoying the alleged baby's suffering. In another postcard titled 'Petite Retouch au Petit Z'raelite!' - "Retouching for the Little Israeli," which also mocks the circumcision, The baby makes his needs in the mohel's face, inscribed on the margins of the postcard: "Humide inconvenance!" - Wrong phrase for words: 'unpleasant humidity'. A postcard depicting a Jewish merchant whose goods are supposedly promiscuous - a passerby steals in front of the Jew's eyes without noticing, a Jewish merchant offering his wares in the form of a broken pot, a pair of Jews with a long nose - Jacob and Yusuf. A Jew plowing land through his Jewish friend and anti-Semitic caption: bonheur conjugal - 'double happiness'. In the postcards in addition to the long nose, even the hands of the Jews are exaggerated, in the form of huge hands. The postcards are signed with the illustrator's stamp [in panel] P. NERI
Four postcards were used.
