العنوانLa Depeche Supplement Illustre (Oct 9th 1898)
الوصفThis is the October 9th edition of the 1898 La Depeche Supplement Illustre . The title on the back page reads, 'Les membres De La commission De Revision Du proces Dreyfus' - loosely translating to 'Members of the Board of Revision of Dreyfus trial'. This edition depicts those chosen to oversee a revision of the Dreyfus trial, necessitated by growing political and social unrest and the agitation initiated by the public trial of Emile Zole.
Events surrounding this incident are largely referred to as the Dreyfus Affair; the public vilification, humiliation and eventual exoneration of a high ranking officer, accused of leaking French military secrets to Germany.
The affair, eventuating in the court martial and imprisonment of Dreyfus, had a polarising affect on French society and its internal institutions. Anti-Semitic sentiment intensified, particularly from the political right who were intent on discrediting the republic. The clandestine nature of the trial and the circumstantial nature of the evidence were challenged by Dreyfus supporters. Despite these observable injustices however, the affair became a platform for anti-Semitic campaigners. Whilst new evidence was uncovered not long after his incarceration, Alfred Dreyfus was denied an official acquittal until 1906.
The impact of the Dreyfus Affair on both French and European Jewry was considerable. The period became impetus for consideration of Jewish nationalism and fuelled debate regarding the nature of assimilation. Witnessing the anti-Semitic protests first-hand whilst in Paris is cited as a profund influence in the progression of Theodor Herzl's Zionist mandate.
