An Original Anti-Semitic Illustration - Totila, 1923
Two original illustrations (ink on paper) by the German caricaturist Totila, whose satiric works were printed in the 1920s in the German periodicals "Simplizissimus" and "Jugend". [Germany, 1923].
The illustration on the left presents three rich Jews drinking champagne. The caption below the illustration (in German), written in pencil, reads: "To life, gentlemen, we hereby establish the new paper 'The Proletariat' and you will see with how much enthusiasm this paper will be accepted by the small people". Signed: Totila; the illustration on the right features a poor German family, whose father reads the new paper "The Proletariat". Signed: Totila 23. Two illustrations 16.5x12 cm, on a leaf 30x23 cm, with instructions to the printing press. Good condition, folding-marks, few creases and stains.
