The dawn of the 20th century


Not much can be identified about this postcard. It is entitled "at the Dawn of the 20th century"

The Geneva printer Louis Bron, future mayor of the Faubourg de Saint-Gervais, took up the title of a theatrical review published from 1878 to 1879 in October 1894. For the drawings, he secured the collaboration of Polyte, alias Albert Gantner, then Noël Fontanet and René Pellarin, known as Pellos.

The postcard image shows a "Stereotypes of Jews" where a seemingly Jewish man, is trying to bribe a woman.
