Date Sold 7/12/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded French Special Poster (made to be sold directly to the public; measures 19 3/4" x 25 1/2" [50 x 65 cm]) (Learn More) Musee Des Horreurs (literally translates to "Museum of Horrors") was a series of anti-Dreyfusard posters (Dreyfusards were those who supported Alfred Dreyfus of the Dreyfus Affair political scandal). These posters were nationalist, anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic caricatures, drawn and published in France by V. Lenepveu between October 1899 and December 1900. Note that no one knows for sure who V. Lenepveu was, but it could have been journalist Auguste-Victor Lenepveu. There were 52 posters in this series, and they are quite rare, both because of their printing relatively small numbers of each, and because the police harassed the publishers and seized some of them! You can find a great deal more about this series with images of all the posters on its French Wikipedia page. In the past decade, Sotheby's has auctioned complete and incomplete sets of these posters for tens of thousands of dollars! Artist: V. Lenepveu Important Added Info: Note that this rabidly anti-Semitic poster shows a cartoon image of the Chief Rabbi of France Zadoc Kahn as a wolf, cutting the tail of a pig (this is obviously allusion to the Jewish rite of circumcision). We have never auctioned this poster before, and we have also never auctioned any other poster from this series before, and they are surely extremely rare! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The poster has darkened slightly, more so around the edges. It has three tears near the center of the bottom border, and one has a small piece of tape on the back. It has some incredibly tiny paper loss in small parts of the borders. Learn More about condition grades
