I am looking for antisemitic caricatures in France between the two World Wars. I can find examples both from before and after, e.g. ones related to the Dreyfus case, but none during this period.

Are there no known example of historically significant antisemitic caricatures in France during this period?

    @TylerDurden, I'm really surprised to see that reference request is off topic on this stackexchange but as a non active member here I cannot complain ;-) I will edit the question in a minute in order that it fits with the standards accepted.

    The site works on consensus, not precedents. And the consensus is not to close such questions.

    too many pedants coaming through questions looking for any reason to shut them down. Not a very good way to generate debate

The sketch

There are many examples of antisemitic caricatures in the far-right French press between the two world wars, especially in the thirties. It is not so easy to find them on the net (I don't know where to look), but a good library with a collection of the journal "Je suis partout", one of the most famous of those journals, should give you plenty of examples.

Since there is no reason for AntiSemitism in France to have died out because of the treaty of Versailles only to spring right back at the outbreak of WWII, the reasonable conclusion is that there were AntiSemitic cartoons as usual during the period, to reflect the known levels of AntiSemitism in France at the time.

Not to single out France, as there was an amount of this feeling in all countries in this period.
