Articulated card featuring an anti-Dreyfus caricature. Paris: Leon Hayard, [1898?].
The card depicts a French soldier dunking something into a barrel labeled "vidange" ("sewage"). The soldier's arm is movable, and when raised it appears to be pulling the figure of author Émile Zola out of the barrel. The cartoon's caption reads "Zola dans La Mé… Lasse..! (literally, "Zola is mired in molasses," a French figure of speech that translates as "Zola is in trouble").
The caricature bears the printed signature "P. Dous Y'Nell."
This cartoon apparently refers to the libel suit filed against Zola in 1898, following publication of his famous article entitled "J'Accuse…!" Zola was consequently found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison. He then escaped to England, where he spent almost a year in hiding.
Approx. 12X17 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Minor creases. Two tears to edges, one partly restored.

Two satirical poems by Thomas de la Borde. [Paris]: [Veuve Hardy press?], 11 Rue des Canettes. February 1898. French.
Single sheet. The poem "Vive l'Armée – A Bas les Traitres" [Long Live the Army – Death to the Traitors] appears in the upper portion, with an illustration (signed in print "Ludovic") depicting a French soldier shaking hands with a Russian soldier, and a German soldier in the background gesturing "Stop."

A number of similar sheets with humorous poems by Thomas de la Borde – some accompanied by illustrations or musical scores – are listed in the catalogue of France's National Library. The present illustration was published roughly a year earlier next to a different poem which had been written on the occasion of the visit to Paris of the Russian Czar and the renewal of the Franco-Russian alliance.
Approx. 55X36. Good-fair condition. Fold lines. Stains. Tears and punch holes to edges and fold lines.

Le Bordereau, Etude des Depositions de M. Bertillon et du Capitaine Valerio au Conseil de Guerre de Rennes, Par un Ancien Eleve De L'ecole Polytechnique. Texte / Planches [The Slip, a Study of the Depositions of Mr. Bertillon and Captain Valerio at the Military Court in Rennes, by a Former Student at the École Polytechnique]. Paris: Hardy & Bernard, 1904. French. One volume of text and one volume of plates.
Two booklets composing a research on the subject of the "Bordereau" ["Slip"], which Alfred Dreyfus was accused of having written. The discovery of this slip – containing classified French military intelligence and dispatched to the Germany Embassy in Paris – sparked the beginning of what became known as the "Dreyfus Affair." The first booklet contains the text, and the second features plates, including photocopies of Dreyfus's handwriting, diagrams analyzing handwriting, and more. Much is based on the testimonies in court against Dreyfus, in particular those delivered by Alphonse Bertillon. The latter was a French police officer, regarded as one of the pioneers of biometric identification. Although, in the end, he did not turn out to be much of an expert on handwriting analysis, he was called upon to testify in the trial as an expert witness, whereupon he insisted that Dreyfus was the person responsible for writing the slip.
Volume of text: 64 pp., 27 cm. Good condition. Few stains and creases. Notations in pencil. Volume of plates: [23] ff., 37.5 cm. Good condition. Fold lines and creases. Repairs with adhesive tape to some folded plates. Two booklets bound together in new binding, 38 cm.

"Freisinnige Zukunftsbilder" [(Pictures of) A Liberal Future], Poster No. 3 in the series "Politischer Bilderbogen." Dresden, Germany: Glöss, 1892. German.
Poster No. 3 in the series "Politischer Bilderbogen." The poster portrays a dystopian future, showing a modern European public square teeming with Jews who take control of the institutions of government in Germany with the help of their allies from the German Liberal Party (Deutsche Freisinnige Partei).
The series "Politischer Bilderbogen" was published in the years 1892-1901, and comprised 33 posters. These were distributed in thousands of copies throughout Germany. The posters featured blatantly anti-Semitic illustrations and caricatures, accompanied by descriptive text printed on the back. Although the posters were published anonymously, they are ascribed to the illustrator Siegfried Horn, who also created the illustrations for the anti-Semitic children's book "Das Lied vom Levi." (The signature "S. Horn" appears on one of the posters.) The texts are ascribed to the anti-Semitic author Max Bewer. The efforts over the years of several Jewish organizations to prevent the publication of these flyers – that openly incited violence against Jews – all ended in failure.
Linen-backed (hiding the printed text on verso) for display and preservation.
Poster: Approx. 49.5X63.5 cm. Good condition. Tears to edges and fold lines (some tears restored, with color touch-up). Minor blemishes.

Album Fun Beilises Protzess [The Beilis Trial Album]. Warsaw: N. Riwin, 1913. Yiddish and Russian.
Small album documenting – with illustrations and photos – the life of Mendel Beilis, in particular the trial in which he stood accused, and personalities associated with the trial, including the murder victim, the panel of judges, witnesses, attorneys, and others. Each picture is captioned in Yiddish and Russian.
Menahem Mendel Beilis was accused of the ritual murder of a Ukrainian Christian youth, Andrei Iushchinskii, in April, 1911. Beilis was arrested on the basis of false testimony, and his trial commenced in September 1913. The purported murder and trial triggered an anti-Jewish campaign of incitement. Beilis was finally acquitted on November 10, 1913, following three years in detention. In the wake of the 1917 Revolution, a commission of inquiry into the affair was established. Its findings revealed that the authorities were fully aware of the true story; the trial was staged, and the motives behind it were purely anti-Semitic. This album was printed to mark the occasion of Beilis's acquittal. The final photograph shows Beilis in the company of his family.
31 pp., 14.5X10.5 cm. Fair condition. Numerous stains and wear. Tears and creases. Spine reinforced with adhesive tape. Several notations in pen and pencil. Ownership stamps.

Two passports of Jewish refugees who escaped from Europe on the eve of the Holocaust, containing a documentation of their journey to Palestine in January 1940:
● German alien passport (Deutsches Reich Fremdenpass), issued to Pepi "Sarah" Neumann in Burg bei Magdeburg, 1935. German and French.
With Pepi Neumann's photograph and personal details, followed by stamps documenting her route to Palestine: exit visa from Germany, issued in Burg on 28.11.1939; transit visa issued by the Italian Consulate in Berlin, dated 22.12.1939, with exit stamp from Germany and entry stamp to Italy via the Brenner Pass, dated 27.12.1939; visa to Palestine, issued by the British consulate in Rome and exist stamp from the port of Trieste dated 28.12.1939; stamp of the mandatory immigration department in Palestine, in Haifa, dated 2.1.1940; and additional stamps.
German alien passports (Fremdenpass) were first issued in Germany after World War I to refugees who fled the Soviet occupied territories to the west. When the Nazis rose to power, they were used, almost exclusively, for domestic travel, and only a few succeeded in leaving German borders using these passports.
Approx. 15 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Minor blemishes. Worn cover.
● French identity card and travel document (France titre d'identité et de voyage) issued to Rudolf Boehmer in Paris, December 1939.
With visas and stamps documenting Boehmer's exit from France via the port of Marseilles, his route via Beirut and his entry into Palestine via the border town of Naqoura on 1.1.1940.
