Karl Marx postcard: "Le Moise Moderne"

Late-19th century

Bernstein, D.

Created in late nineteenth-century France, the postcard featured above draws a parallel between Karl Marx's ideological leadership and Mose's role in liberating the Israelites, portraying Marx as, "Le Moise Moderne" or "The Modern Moses." The postcard serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Marx's ideas, the image capturing Marx's profound influence on social and political thought in an era marked by social change, political upheaval, and the quest for equality.
