    Overview

    Brief Narrative
    Folio of nineteen lithographic prints of merchants and street vendors in mid-19th century Warsaw by Jan Felix Piwarski (Piwarskiego) (1794-1859) from his unfinished series, Kram malowniczy warszawski. The folio includes two series, eight prints each. The prints are finely detailed portraits of peddlers and merchants going about their business, most in open air settings. Piwarski studied drawing and languages before moving to Warsaw in 1816. In 1818, he became curator of the Print Room at Warsaw University Library until 1834 when the University was closed by Czar Nicholas I of Russia in the wake of the suppressed Polish November Uprising. Piworski then had a successful career as a teacher and artist. He invented new lithographic techniques which gave his work a delicate, painterly quality. He was know for his carefully observed landscapes, and for his numerous series depicting people on the streets of Warsaw involved in their daily activities. The folio is one of more than 900 items in the Katz Ehrenthal Collection of antisemitic artifacts and visual materials.

    Biography
    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.
