“The New Jerusalem, Formerly New York. A Scene on Broadway in 1900.” From The Judge Magazine, Vol. 2, no. 39.

(AMERICAN JUDAICA).

New York, July 22nd, 1882

Double panel illustration by James Albert Wales.

Judge was a weekly magazine published in the United States from 1881 to 1947. It was launched by artists who had seceded from its rival Puck. This satiric depiction essentially imagines Jews as taking over New York City - soldiers with ethnically Jewish features march along Levi Street - formerly Canal Street - with all store fronts replaced by Jewish names.
