Anti-semitic one piece walking stick. Carved wood with metal ferrule. Circa 1890. Overall approx. 34 1/2 in. long.
An unusual walking stick using exaggerated anti-Semitic stereotypes as design elements. The handle is carved in a discriminatory depiction of a "peddling Jew" in a hat with a thick-lipped grin, large hooked nose, and prominent beard.
In the Second German Empire, founded in 1871, Jews living within German territory became equal citizens. Especially in the large metropolitan areas, many Jews assimilated into German society. At the same time, however, the first anti-Semitic clubs and associations were formed. The groups produced a plethora of material to "raise the alarm" at the perceived Jewish infiltration of German society.
