An election poster designed by Adolf Willette - an anti-Semitic French artist who ran in the 1889 election in France. The banner reads: entworfen und gezeichnet von dem antisemitic handidaten adolf willette [Designed and painted by anti-Semitic candidate Adolf Willett], published by his opponents who called him 'anti-Semitic'. Germany, the first decades of the 20th century.

An antisemitic illustration by Wilette - French figures holding war tools, at their feet a stone in the form of broken tablets and the caption: "The Talmud". In the middle, a Jew holding an umbrella and floating with wigs and stereotypical nose, and the anti-Semitic inscription to the electorate: "It is not a matter of religion. The Jew belongs to another race and he is our enemy ... I give you the opportunity to protest with me against the tyranny of the Jews ...".
