The scandal, known as the "Decoration Scandals," involved numerous army officers being accused of selling military decorations and honors for cash. The trial, which began in 1887, was a significant event that shook the foundations of the French military and government. In this image, we see a packed courtroom filled with intense scrutiny and anticipation.

The prosecution, composed of stern-faced officials, prepare their case against the accused. Witnesses, journalists, and onlookers fill the room, all eager to bear witness to this historic trial. The Decoration Scandals were not an isolated incident; they were part of a larger pattern of corruption and misconduct within the French military.
