EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the somber and haunting image of Alfred Dreyfus in prison at Saint-Martin-de-Re, France. The engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, showcases Dreyfus during his time of disgrace and imprisonment before being transported to Devils Island. The scene depicts Dreyfus within the confines of his cell, surrounded by guards who symbolize both his captors and those responsible for perpetuating injustice. This powerful portrayal highlights not only the scandalous nature of Dreyfus' case but also sheds light on prevalent issues such as antisemitism and prejudice that plagued French society during this period. Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, was wrongfully accused of treason which led to one of history's most notorious miscarriages of justice - known as the "Dreyfus Affair". This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of his unjust punishment and the profound impact it had on him personally and on society at large. Through this image, we are invited to reflect upon themes such as betrayal, imprisonment, discrimination, and ultimately resilience. It stands as a testament to Dreyfus' unwavering spirit amidst adversity while shedding light on broader societal issues that continue to resonate today. This digitally cleaned image from Bridgeman Images allows us an intimate glimpse into a dark chapter in history - one that reminds us never to forget past injustices so that we may strive towards creating a more just future
