Print portfolio 05, 1870-1904, undated
Scope and Contents
Antisemitic caricatures, the majority published in satirical magazines Puck and Judge. Examples of subject matter include: increases in Jewish immigration, Jewish businessmen swindling customers, and portrayals of Jews as greedy, untrustworthy businessmen, always desperate to save or make money. Many portray fathers instilling an obsession with money in their children. Jewish figures are depicted with exaggerated noses and speaking with Eastern European accents to denote their status as recent immigrants. A small number of these materials are in French and German.
