Three Little Pigs

Postcard with a printed image of three clothed pigs seated on a bench. They have stereotypical Jewish features, including curled payot and protruding noses. 

In Jewish religious texts, pigs symbolize filth and abomination, and Judaism forbids the consumption of pork. The portrayal of the Jewish men as pigs was a deriding twist on the classic caricature of three Jews on a bench. The text says:

Look at the card in a friendly way! Each one of these three are linked to your desires, you have the right lucky pig.

One function of such “humorous” caricatures was to render the other or the (possible) opponent /rival ridiculous
