Two Antisemitic "Serial" Postcards. New York 1910
Two rare antisemitic postcards telling a story and mocking the image of the beggar Jew, published by F. G. Henry & Co., New York, 1910.
The same figure appears on both postcards - a stereotypical Jewish beggar with a long nose and beard. In one, he reaches out his hand to beg for charity, with the inscription: "I wouldn't do it." In the second, the same figure is scratching his head and staring, with the inscription: "Believe me, I'm a sick man." Sent in the mail in 1911.
Identical size: 9x14 cm. Very fine condition.
