Abstract:
Discusses the representation of East European Jewish pedlars and beggars and of Jewish bankers and parvenus in German and Austrian humoristic journals of the 1860s-90s. Points out that they are immediately recognizable as Jews by their costume (in the case of the parvenus, by their ridiculous attempt at elegance), but even more by their physiognomy, posture, and gestures; and often by their "Jewish" speech. Pp. 62-85 contain examples of caricatures.
Note:
In Germany and Austria.
