EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the arrest of Commander Esterhazy during the infamous Dreyfus case in 1898. The photograph, taken by an unknown artist from the 19th century, showcases the intensity and drama surrounding this highly controversial event. The Dreyfus case was a landmark trial that shook French society to its core. It revolved around Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army who was wrongfully accused of treason. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the political turmoil and religious tensions that engulfed France at that time. Intriguingly composed, this image transports us back to that fateful day when Commander Esterhazy's arrest marked a turning point in unraveling the truth behind Dreyfus' conviction. The composition emphasizes both Esterhazy's apprehension and defiance while capturing onlookers caught between curiosity and disbelief. Giancarlo Costa skillfully presents this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to witness firsthand the impact it had on individuals and communities alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded not only of France's complex past but also of how justice can be manipulated by prejudice. This print is part of a private collection, preserving an essential slice of history for future generations to reflect upon. Its significance lies not only in documenting one man's struggle for justice but also in reminding us all about our collective responsibility
