Call to Maintain Order – Hamburg, 1835 – Proclamation Issued Following Riots against Jews in the City
A proclamation issued by the Hamburg city council, calling the citizens not to take part in the riots, to maintain order and to stay home after eight o'clock in the evening. Hamburg, 1835. German.
The proclamation was published on August 2, 1835, one day after two of the Jewish inhabitants of the city refused to leave a café where they sat, and from where they were thrown out. This incident led to violent riots in the city of Hamburg, with rioters demanding to expel Jews from public places of entertainment and from cafés.
Approx. 32X39 cm. Good-fair condition. A horizontal folding mark. Some stains and minor blemishes (mostly at margins). Open tear at right margin, not affecting text.
