EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting Alphonse Bertillon testifying before the second court martial of Alfred Dreyfus in Rennes. The colour litho, created by the French School in the 19th century, showcases the intensity and drama of this significant event. Alphonse Bertillon, a renowned handwriting expert, stands tall and resolute as he presents his testimony to the judges. His words hold immense weight as they accuse Dreyfus of writing the incriminating letter to the German military attache in Paris known as "the bordereau". This testimony played a crucial role in both trials that ultimately found Dreyfus guilty. The courtroom is filled with soldiers, judges, and members of the army who are all partaking in this historic trial. The atmosphere is charged with tension and anticipation as justice hangs delicately on every word spoken within these walls. Beyond being a mere court case or trial, this image represents larger themes such as antisemitism and political intrigue. The infamous Dreyfus Affair shook France during this time period and exposed deep-rooted prejudices within society. As we gaze upon this powerful photograph print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of how evidence can be manipulated for personal gain or hidden agendas. It serves as a stark reminder that injustice can prevail if truth is not sought diligently. Overall, this image encapsulates an important chapter in French history while also shedding light on broader issues surrounding power dynamics and prejudice within society.
