EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the duel between Lieutenant Colonels Georges Picquart and Hubert Henry during the infamous Dreyfus affair. The image, featured on the cover of "La petite Gironde" in March 1898, showcases an engraving by the French School of the 19th century. In this intense scene, two men stand poised for combat at the military school in Paris. Their rivalry is palpable as they prepare to engage in a sword fight, their weapons held firmly in hand. The atmosphere is charged with tension and opposition. The Dreyfus affair was not merely a dispute between individuals; it represented larger issues of anti-Semitism and injustice within France at that time. This duel symbolizes the clash between different factions involved in this complex case. The colors used in this engraving add depth and vibrancy to the image, highlighting its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of both human nature's capacity for conflict and our ongoing struggle for justice. As we gaze upon this print from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported back to late 19th-century France - a period marked by political turmoil and societal divisions. Through this artwork, we gain insight into one of history's most controversial episodes while marveling at its artistic representation.
