BRUNO

[Affaire Dreyfus] Jeu de la casserole. - Renouvelé des Grecs et du Jeu d'Oie

André Denys, Paris 1905, remplié : 23,7x19cm / déplié : 69,9x55cm, une grande feuille rempliée.

Colour lithography by caricaturist Bruno printed on a large fold-out sheet.
Some minor foxing in the margin of the cover.
The “jeu de la casserole” is an anti-Masonic and anti-Semitic game in thirty-three boxes, illustrated with caricatures, which went on sale in 1905. Its title is inspired by the “affaire des casseroles” “Affair of the Casseroles” also called “affaire des fiches” “Affair of the Cards”, an operation of political and religious filing of anti-republican officers that took place between 1900 and 1904, in the midst of the Dreyfus Affair.
The central figure is the president of the Council, Émile Combes, freemason and inspirer of the law in 1905 (on the separation of the Church and the State). His government experienced a scandal generated by this filing, made possible thanks to information transmitted by freemasons to General André, Minister of War. Following this affair, the Combes government had to resign in January 1905.
A most beautiful copy of this poster, rare in original covers, testimony to the violent anti-Semitism exacerbated by the Dreyfus Affair.
