EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense emotions of a family dinner before and after discussing the infamous Dreyfus Affair. Created by Caran D Ache and Emmanuel Poire in 1894, this engraving depicts a scene filled with tension, conflict, and heated arguments. In the "before" image, we see a seemingly peaceful gathering around a table. The family members are engaged in casual conversation while enjoying their meal. However, as soon as the topic shifts to the Dreyfus Affair - an accusation of selling military secrets to the Germans - everything changes dramatically. The "after" image reveals chaos unfolding at the dining table. The once harmonious atmosphere is shattered as couples engage in fierce quarrels. One woman even sports a black eye, indicating physical violence that erupted during this passionate debate. Some individuals can be seen arguing vehemently while others resort to strangling or throwing punches. This satirical caricature brilliantly portrays how deeply divided opinions on such controversial matters can tear families apart. It highlights not only the intensity of conflicting perspectives but also showcases how discussions about political scandals can lead to emotional turmoil within close-knit relationships. Through this thought-provoking artwork, Caran D Ache and Emmanuel Poire shed light on societal tensions surrounding military scandal and its impact on personal dynamics during that era. It serves as a powerful reminder of how historical events have far-reaching consequences beyond politics alone.
