Complete set of 7 anti-Semitic postcards depicting a man sitting at his table receiving different propaganda notes in France. In each postcard the publisher puts a different sentence in his mouth dealing with the exploitation of the French state for the benefit of the Jews and Freemasons. All the postcards were mailed to the same person! Published by G.I.D. collection, France, 1902. Rare.

The figure appearing on the front of all the postcards is the same character, and the writer presents what is going through his mind, each time appearing with different facial expressions, according to the name of the candidate appearing on the right of the figure. For example, in one of the postcards it says: "My committee which is neither Jewish, nor English, nor German, tells me to vote against. What a joke to explain to him that one has to vote, ah! My brother's office will take care of it". In another postcard it says: "The rent is going up! The more we destroy the state, the more credit it has. Let's bet that after the next loan the rent will go up again. After us, the flood!", in another postcard it says: "...My voice tomorrow will be paid well by these dear islanders.", etc.

Postcards: 9x14 cm. All are undivided back. All were mailed to the same person in May, 1902. Very good condition.
