Item Details
Description
Two antisemitic illustrations by German caricaturist Eugen Karl Joseph von Baumgarten - ink on cardboard, both with his handwritten signature. C. 1900.
One shows an old Jew with long nose as a beggar at city gates, the second shows a long-nosed Jew stirring a pot and a person looking at him, observing with interest.
Baumgarten [1865-1919] was an artist and illustrator in the Bavaria region in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In 1891 he opened an art gallery which moved from place to place, ultimately settling in Munich. He drew caricatures for the local press and books, and also illustrated posters on various topics. Most of his work deals with internal German issues, and it is rare to find caricatures among his works with an antisemitic tone such as the two before us. Rare.
19x25 cm and 19x20 cm. Very fine condition
