EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history - the Zola trial in Versailles during the infamous Dreyfus Affair. Published in "Le Petit Journal" on July 31,1898, this print showcases the intense political and religious tensions that engulfed France at the time. The image depicts a crowded courtroom filled with individuals from various walks of life. The diverse group of people reflects both the significance and complexity of this trial. At its core, it was a battle between justice and prejudice, as anti-Semitism played a prominent role throughout. Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, stood accused of treason. Emile Zola, an influential writer and author known for his social commentary, took up Dreyfus' cause and used his literary prowess to expose corruption within the military establishment. This lithograph not only captures the charged atmosphere inside the courtroom but also serves as a reminder of how religion can intersect with politics to shape historical events. It is an important testament to France's struggle for equality and justice during this tumultuous period. Leonard de Selva's skillful composition brings color to this significant chapter in French history. As we reflect on these events from over a century ago, let us remember those who fought against discrimination and injustice while acknowledging how far we have come since then.
