Colored caricature of a Jewish lawyer by A. Park

The Katz Ehrenthal Collection is a collection of more than 900 objects depicting Jews and antisemitic and anti-Jewish propaganda from the medieval to the modern era, in Europe, Russia, and the United States. The collection was amassed by Peter Ehrenthal, a Romanian Holocaust survivor, to document the pervasive history of anti-Jewish hatred in Western art, politics and popular culture. It includes crude folk art as well as pieces created by Europe's finest craftsmen, prints and periodical illustrations, posters, paintings, decorative art, and toys and everyday household items decorated with depictions of stereotypical Jewish figures. 

The engraving was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2016 by the Katz Family.

Handcolored print of an engraving with a caricature of a thin gentleman in right facing profile, a white quill pen stuck behind his ear, the point passing through a thick sidelock. His lips are pressed together and he has fleshy jowls and stereotypical Jewish features: thick eyebrows, hooded eyes, and a large, pointed nose. He wears a white top hat with a black band, a blue suit, and a knotted neck cloth. He leans forward slightly, knees bent, left leg forward, and right heel raised. A tied bundle of papers sticks out of his back pocket and a rolled sheath of partially blue papers is tucked beneath his right armpit. His left arm is raised, holding a large, red sack out at waist height. An irregularly shaped black shadow overlaps with the yellow ground beneath him. English text is printed in 2 columns beneath the image. The edges are torn.
