EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a caricature by Charles Leandre, featured in the renowned French magazine "Le Rire" in 1898. The subject of this satirical artwork is Paul Bertulus, an esteemed examining magistrate involved in the infamous Dreyfus case that shook France during the late 19th century. Paul Bertulus, portrayed with great detail and humor by Leandre, was known for his exceptional intellect and education. As one of the key figures in the Dreyfus case, he played a crucial role in investigating Alfred Dreyfus, who was wrongfully accused of treason. This historic trial divided French society along religious and political lines. The engraving beautifully depicts Bertulus as a distinguished judge with allusions to his intelligence through symbolic elements such as books surrounding him. Leandre's artistic style adds depth to this portrayal while also highlighting the gravity of the situation at hand. This print offers viewers a glimpse into an important moment in French history where justice clashed with prejudice. It serves as a reminder of how even those deemed highly educated can be influenced by bias and misinformation. The image invites contemplation on themes like human fallibility within systems of justice. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece continues to captivate audiences with its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
