“Le Roi des Porcs,” (King of the Pigs)

Musée des Horreurs, no.4, c. 1899-1900

Dreyfus defender Émile Zola is shown as king of the pigs, a reference to Kosher prohibitions against pork. Lenepveu attempts scatological humor, casting Zola’s “oeuvre” and his defense of Jews as “caca international” (international excrement) sullying the French map.

V. Lenepveu
