Carnet de Chéques [Checkbook], par Caran d’Ache. Paris, 1865. French.
Anti-Semitic caricature book by Caran d’Ache (pseudonym of Emmanuel Poiré, 1858-1909), a French artist and painter of political and anti-Semitic caricatures, a pioneering artist of comics and caricatures and one of the leading French caricaturists of the period. The caricatures in this book refer to the “Panama Affair,” the economic corruption affair that broke out in the Third French Republic in 1892 (in which the French Government took bribes to keep quiet about the financial problems of the Panama Canal Company). The book and its pages are designed as a checkbook. Most of the figures shown holding bills of money or bribing others are depicted with viciously obvious anti-Semitic characteristics. Original cover. [24] leaves, 12X27 cm. Very Good condition. Sporadic spotting.

24 issues of Le Petit Journal concerning the Dreyfus Affair and the Zola Affair. December 1894 – September 1899. French.
Issues of the illustrated supplement to the Parisian daily newspaper, Le Petit Journal. On the first and last page of each issue appear illustrations in color, most of them depicting the Dreyfus Affair events: Dreyfus in a court martial; the military ceremony of tearing off his army ranks (the illustration features a French officer breaking Dreyfus's sword – sign of expelling him from the army); Dreyfus in prison, a guard serving him food; Dreyfus in Devils' Island; General Pellieux and Esterhazy; Esterhazy in court – reading the verdict; arrest of Colonel Picquart; "scandal in the French House of Commons"; Major Henry accuses Picquart of lying in court; duel between Henry and Picquart; Zola Affair – Court; Departure of Emil Zola; Military prison in Rennes; Dreyfus and his lawyers; attempt to assassin Dreyfus's lawyer; etc.
Most of the illustrations are by the French illustrator and caricaturist Henri Meyer (1844-1899). Other illustrations are by the illustrator and etching artist Fortuné Méaulle (1844-1901), painter Lionel Royer (1852-1926) and Eugène Damblanc (1865-1945).
During the Dreyfus Affair the power of journalism increased, and caricatures were published to transmit messages to the masses who grabbed the papers as soon as they appeared. In issue no. 217 of January 13, 1895 appears an illustration most identified with the Dreyfus Affair, (by the illustrator Meyer) – "The Traitor: Removal of Dreyfus's ranks". This humiliating ceremony was planned ahead of time (the sword was broken in advance to avoid mishaps during the ceremony). The illustration features the moment of breaking the sword, after Dreyfus was forced to march around the formations arena while the masses cried “Death to the traitor! Kill Him! Dirty Jew! Judas Iscariot!” The caption next to the illustration “Dreyfus in Devils’ Island” protests that Dreyfus was not forced to shave his moustache. The moustache (according to the caption) is a national symbol of France and it
is appropriate that whoever stole bread should be forced to shave it, not to mention whoever sold his homeland.
“Le Petit Journal” was one of the extreme opponents to Alfred Dreyfus and expressed its attitudes harshly. Presented here are issues Nos. 214, 217, 218, 306, 370, 372, 375, 376, 377, 380, 381, 383, 387, 400, 402, 403, 430, 431, 451, 452, 457, 458, 460, 462. 43 cm. 4 leaves per issue (issue 372: only first and last leaves). Most of the issues in good codition. Spots. Minor tears to borders of leaves. Several loose or detached leaves.

Scroll. Stenciled on paper, [France], ca.1922.
The scroll presented is an unknown transcription of the story of the Exodus from Egypt, with anti-Semitic characteristics and matching illustrations. Moses asks Pharaoh to give him a passport for the Jews, in order to leave Egypt. The latter refuses. Later, the Jews ask to pay for exit and Pharaoh refuses again. The last illustration is of a pyramid on top of which is a snake, surrounded by marine creatures, crying: fish, an octopus, sea horse and two scorpions holding handkerchiefs with the letter "H". An inscription on the pyramid reads: "Garde-vous Bien De Garder "Un Juif Qui veut S'en Aller" [watch well the Jew who wants to go]. On the lower part of the leaf, in Latin, appears a signature of the creator of the scroll and the illustrations: M. Qvilliard, noting that it was created in 1922 and an additional year (blurred) in which changes were made. Egyptian motifs are integrated into the illustrations; the plagues are depicted through comics in a surrealist and fantastic style. The Jews are portrayed with a long nose and even with money bags. Height: 26 cm, length 446 cm. Poor condition, first part torn, spots throughout the scroll.
