Adolphe Willette

Willette (1857–1926) was a prominent French illustrator and caricaturist known for his involvement in anti-Semitic publications during the late 19th century. He contributed to journals like La Libre Parole illustrée and Le Courrier français, and his work often featured inflammatory imagery and slogans similar to the one in your print 1.

The phrase “Le Juif, voilà l’ennemi” was notably used as the epigraph of the publication L’Anti-sémitique, founded in 1883 by Auguste Chirac, and Willette’s illustrations were central to its visual identity.
