An Unfolded French Special Poster (measures 19 1/2" 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 #8 in this series and it shows a cartoon image of French Army officer and Minister of War Marie-Georges Picquart as a camel. He is best known for his role in the Dreyfus affair, in which he played a key role in uncovering the real culprit. We are currently auctioning three other posters from this series in three separate auctions. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has tiny creases around the edges, with a few tiny tears. It has a piece of paper tape on the back of the top border and two on the back of the bottom border. Learn More about condition grades
