An Unfolded French Special Poster (measures 19 3/4" x 25 1/2" [50 x 65 cm]) (Learn More)

Musee Des Horreurs (literally translates to "Museum of Horrors") was a series of anti-Dreyfusard posters (Dreyfusards were those who supported Alfred Dreyfus of the Dreyfus Affair political scandal). These posters were nationalist, anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic caricatures, drawn and published in France by V. Lenepveu between October 1899 and December 1900. Note that no one knows for sure who V. Lenepveu was, but it could have been journalist Auguste-Victor Lenepveu. There were 52 posters in this series, and they are quite rare, both because of their printing relatively small numbers of each, and because the police harassed the publishers and seized some of them! You can find a great deal more about this series with images of all the posters on its French Wikipedia page. In the past decade, Sotheby's has auctioned complete and incomplete sets of these posters for tens of thousands of dollars!
Artist: V. Lenepveu
Important Added Info: Note that this poster is #9 in this series and it shows French journalist and politician Francis de Pressense as a turkey standing on a newspaper. Note also that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning!

Condition: good. The poster has darkened and it has staining, creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges (see our image). A few of the tears or other defects as described above are repaired with tape from the back. There are two very large tears at upper center.
