Summary/Abstract: The study examines the visual antisemitism propagated by two gazettes for peasants published in Transylvania, one before 1918 (Gura satului – Village Voice) and one during the interwar period (Lumina satelor – The Light of Villages). By researching caricatures on Jews and the stereotypes about them, the current study highlights the continuities and discontinuities in the antisemitic imaginary articulated by the two periodicals.
