Le Juif-Errant, The Wandering Jew. An Antisemitic Plate, France, 19th Century
Dimensions: 40x27 cm.
An antisemitic plate in lithographic printing painted by hand from the time of printing published by Epinal. The lithograph was done by Oliver O. Pinot.
The lithograph is accompanied by verses of an antisemitic poem in rhyme, in French, about the legend of the wandering Jew. In the illustration is a Jew with a long curled beard, and a long nose, holding a walking stick in his hand. The people around him who depict the natives of the place seem much cleaner and tidier than him, and they are all looking at him suspiciously.
Similar lithographs were published in 19th century France bearing the title La Juif Errant in which the poem before us appears with the illustrations of the artist Francois Georgin.
Pasted onto a cardboard back for protection, a restored tear at the bottom of the paper.
Fine condition.
