Les Clous de L'Exposition - A series of Political Postcards. 12 cartes postales politiques pour accompagner l'exposition universelle de 1889 à Paris

Paris: 1889. A complete set of Philippe Norwins' political satire postcards, mocking leading celebrities of the day. Each numbered and signed in the plate. Condition excellent for all twelve, with just a touch of darkening. The satire was harsh. For example the card #1 is entitled "Drumont aneantit ses mites" and mocks the leading Anti-Semite Drumont, who is shown killing moths (jews) with a chemical spray. Includes satires of Sarah Bernhardt & Clemenceau. Cards 6-12 state "6e Serie" to them - but the set is complete. Each card is 100 by 150mm (4 by 6 inches). Un ensemble complet de cartes postales de satire politique de Philippe Norwins, se moquant des principales célébrités de l'époque. Chacun numéroté et signé dans la planche. Condition excellente pour les douze, avec juste une touche de noircissement. La satire était dure. Par exemple, la carte #1 est intitulée "Drumont aneantit ses mites" et se moque du principal antisémite Drumont, qui est montré en train de tuer des papillons de nuit (juifs) avec un spray chimique. Chaque carte mesure 100 x 150 mm.
