A LA BOTTE DU JUIF ERRANT - 'The Wandering Jew's Boots'. An advertisement card for a shoe manufacturer called LOUIS ABADIE in early 20th century France. In the front is a drawing of a youth in boots In lithographic printing. How strong the legend of the wandering Jew was in the minds of French citizens can be learned from the fact that on the back of the card the manufacturer lists the excellent quality of the shoes and boots it produces, under the name 'Wandering Jewish Boots'. In order to market his goods as quality, the advertiser uses the expression of the boots of the 'wandering Jew' as such that for years they never wear out. Extremely rare.
Size: 14x9 cm. Very good condition.
