    Markings
    front, black ink : Jack rode to his mother / The News for to tell ; / She called him a good boy / And said it was well. / Jack sold his gold egg / To a rascally Jew. / Who cheated him out of / The half of his due. / Then Jack went a-courting / A lady so gay, / As fair as the lily / And sweet as the may. / The Jew and the Squire / Came behind his back, / And began to belabor / The sides of poor Jack.

    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.
