EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of an assassination attempt on Fernand Labori, a prominent lawyer defending Alfred Dreyfus during his second court martial in Rennes. The colour lithograph, created by Eugene Damblans, showcases the shocking incident that unfolded in 19th-century France. The image depicts a scene filled with violence and scandal as Labori becomes the target of a shooting. This act of aggression is deeply rooted in antisemitism, reflecting the turbulent political climate of the time. As one delves into this historical event known as the Dreyfus Affair, it becomes evident that injustice and prejudice were prevalent forces shaping society. Labori's role as an attorney fighting for justice makes him vulnerable to attacks from those who oppose his cause. This powerful visual representation highlights not only the danger faced by individuals challenging established norms but also sheds light on broader issues such as discrimination and political unrest. The setting of Rennes adds another layer to this narrative, emphasizing how these events unfolded within French borders. The photograph serves as a reminder of Europe's complex history and its struggle for equality and fairness. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows viewers to delve into this significant moment in history while appreciating Damblans' artistic talent. It serves as both a testament to Labori's bravery and resilience and a stark reminder of humanity's capacity for violence when driven by prejudice.
