The so-called Museum of Horrors was a series of 51 crude and vicious anti-Semitic posters in the wake of the Dreyfus trial in France. The people lambasted by the bigoted caricaturist include prominent French Jews, such as the five Rothschild brothers and their wives, Alfred Dreyfus, politicians involved in the Dreyfus Affair, ministers and financiers involved in the Panama Canal scandal and French politicians.
