This poster uses hyperbolic language of antisemitic clich\u00e9s familiar to French citizens of the time to incite feelings of racism. A stereotypically depicted Jew and the architecturally commanding Bourse (Paris stock exchange) are rendered in contrasting yellow and black, a color pairing common in antisemitic imagery. In addition, the yellow appearing here with green connotes disease and contagion, especially typhus and syphilis. The figure devouring a <\/span>matzoh<\/span><\/i> wafer shaped like France dramatically and unmistakably presents \u201cthe Jew\u201d as a grave threat to national existence. Blood dripping from the figure\u2019s mouth references the charge of <\/span>blood libel<\/span><\/i>, alleging Jewish slaughter of Christian children for religious ceremonies. The grays of the stormy sky, the Jew\u2019s mask-like face, and the Bourse\u2019s hulking stone exterior complete the overall sense of menace. These symbols, overwhelmingly derogatory when taken together, heighten fear of the \u201cenemy\u201d by preying on deeply seated prejudices.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav prev_text=”Previous” admin_label=”Post Navigation” _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” width=”99.8%” min_height=”57.6px” custom_margin=”|-165px||-123px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La Bourse [The Paris Stock Exchange] Artist unknownDate unknownlithograph on paperEstate of Richard N.
