Print portfolio 41, 1790-1882, 1923, 1928, undated

Antisemitic portraits and caricatures from the late 18th through the 19th century, as well as a small number from the 1920s. Many caricatures are from the American satirical magazines Puck and Judge. The caricatures illustrate antisemitic attitudes regarding Jewish businesses and perceived Jewish influence and greed. Themes include commentary on Jews' upward mobility, negative attitudes towards Jewish immigration, and portrayals of Jews literally trampling on biblical truths and Christian values. Of note are a caricature titled "Die Generalpumpe," which uses the Rothschild family to symbolize the influence of Jews and Jewish wealth, and a print reproduction of a painting titled Die Bekehrung der Juden in Rom (The Conversion of the Jews in Rome) by Hieronymus Hess, which shows Jews forced to attend a Christian sermon.
