Imprimerie Lenepveu|Paris s. d. [mai 1900]|49.80 x 65.20 cm|une affiche
Original color lithographed poster depicting Jude Philipp in the guise of a vulture nailed to a wall.
Transverse folds and minute marginal tears without loss.
Distributed between October 1899 and December 1900 in a France inflamed by the Dreyfus Affair, these immense satirical color portraits are the work of Victor Lenepveu who announced the publication of 150 then 200 drawings and ultimately produced only about fifty. Despite the 1881 press freedom law allowing the distribution of politically subversive imagery, the publication of this nightmarish pantheon was interrupted by order of the Ministry of the Interior.
