VOLKSTYPEN ON DER DREIKAISERREICHSECHE BEI MYSLOWITZ - A postcard showing Jewish types in the town near Myslowitz - Slezsko in southern Poland, early 20th century.
The postcard shows different local Jewish types: a Talmid Chacham, a peddler, a Jewish boy, and an old man with a pipe. In the center of the postcard is a Jewish family, and above it an aerial view of the countries bordering it. Since the title of the postcard defined the figures appearing as 'folk types', without mentioning the fact that they are Jews, there were those who claimed that the postcard is antisemitic and presented the 'folks' as Jews only. Sent by mail in 1909. Good condition.
