EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a controversial cartoon titled "Cartoon antisemite" by Achille Lemot for "Le-Pelerin" in September 1896. The artwork depicts a scene from a commercial school, where a young boy named Jacob is being questioned about his future aspirations. However, the underlying message of this caricature is deeply anti-Semitic. The cartoon plays on harmful stereotypes and prejudices against Jewish people, portraying Jacob as an untrustworthy businessman who will betray others for personal gain. The caption asks, "when you become a crant, you my bedide Jacob, what will you split?". This derogatory question implies that Jews are inherently greedy and deceitful. Achille Lemot's work reflects the prevalent anti-Semitism of the time and highlights the discrimination faced by Jewish individuals in French society during the late 19th century. It also alludes to the infamous Dreyfus Affair, an unjust trial that further fueled anti-Semitic sentiments in France. While this artwork serves as a historical artifact depicting societal attitudes of its time, it is important to acknowledge its offensive nature and condemn any form of discrimination or prejudice. By examining such works critically, we can strive towards creating a more inclusive and tolerant society today.
