(ANTISEMITICA)

Group of three Viennese anti-Semitic Broadsides: Frische Judenkirschen ["Fresh Jewish-Cherries"]. Printed both sides. The pamphleteer writes that the Jews are arrogant and overly ambitious and undermining the Austrian military in Italy with their democratic ideas. * Die Juden=Herrschaft ["Jewish Rule": reaction to Emancipation of Jews]. Single side. * Schmidt, Franz. Bittschrift der Christensklaven an die Herren Juden um Christen-Emancipation ["Petition of the Christian Slaves to their Jewish Masters regarding Emancipation of the Christians."] Single side, printed in double columns.

Vienna: Early 19th-century

Est: $800 - $1,200

The third item is a reactionary lampoon that ridicules the Emancipation of the Jews of Austria, claiming matters have gone too far, to the point whereby “Christians are now in need of Emancipation from their Jewish masters”
