The Aryan breaks the chains of the Jew and the Freemason that held him captive, drawing of 1897 in a book by Augustin-Joseph Jacquet, in France.
French revolution: before and after: satirical drawing by French draftsman Caran d'Ache, 1898, in the middle of the Dreyfus affair and the foundation of Action Française. Although the Ancien Régime is not shown as idyllic, the contemporary situation is shown as an increase of oppression, which technical improvements (notice the plowshare) don't lighten, and to which financial capitalism (the banker with his top hat and his wallet), the Freemason (with his set square and plumb bob) and the Jew (with a curved nose) are contributors.[1]

The Judeo-Masonic conspiracy is an antisemitic and anti-Masonic conspiracy theory[2] involving an alleged secret coalition of Jews and Freemasons. These theories are popular on the far-right, particularly in France,[3] Turkey,[4][5] Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Russia, Serbia, Eastern Europe, and Japan, with similar allegations still being published.
