%X Antisemitic caricatures had already drawn broad attention from one attentive contemporary observer and passionate collector ¨C Eduard Fuchs, who had published in 1921 a huge volume on Jews in cartoons. Already in 1901, he had published what remains to this day the most extensive history of caricatures of the European people. The term ¡®caricature¡¯ goes back to the cartoons, the ¡°ritrattini carichi¡±, literally ¡°loaded portraits¡±, of Annibale Carracci in 16th century Italy.3 But not before the mid-18th century were caricatures used as a medium for political messages.
