Description

[DREYFUS AFFAIR] Victor LENEPVEU (19th - 20th century) Cartoons from the suite Le Musée des horreurs, 1899-1900. Three lithographs mounted on canvas: - N° 43: Karl Meyer The Smuggler - N° 44: Baron James - N° 45: Baron Alphonse 65 x 50 cm Good condition. Victor Lenepveu's large-scale anti-Dreyfus cartoons in full color form the fearsome "Musée des horreurs". In their color, obscenity and cruelty, the Musée des Horreurs posters reach a peak of abjection. Rarely equaled in violence, these caricatures are all the more effective because the faces of the personalities depicted are identifiable at first glance. Rarely has anti-Semitic hatred reached such heights in France, and never has it found a more effective illustrator than Victor Lenepveu, whose images are all the more terrifying for their remarkable caricature and impressive format. Keywords : judaica, jew, jewish, hebrew, rabbis, jewish, torah, hebrew, hebraica, judaism, synagogue, zionism, pessah, pessach, haggada, haggadah, hagada, hagadah, passover, menora, menorah, hannuka, hannuca, hannucca, hanouccah, torah, juden, israélite, Israël, antisemitism, antisémitisme, dreyfus, meguila, sepharade, sefarad, ketouba
