EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a panoramic view of the Iles du Salut, with a particular focus on the infamous Ile du Diable where Ex-Captain Dreyfus was imprisoned. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the topography and key landmarks of this remote location. The image showcases various elements that make up the island's landscape, including a key plan, parade ground, military hospital, refractory prisoners' quarters, coal house, semaphore tower, stone hut, guard house, and more. The viewer can also spot significant structures such as a telephone line connecting different parts of the island and even a dockyard. Amongst these features lies Dreyfus' former hut – an important symbol of his unjust confinement. The Ile du Diable looms in the background as an imposing reminder of his isolation and captivity. This engraving serves as both documentation and illustration for The Graphic magazine published on December 3rd in 1898. As part of Fine Art Finder's collection from Bridgeman Images, this print provides historical insight into one of France's most notorious cases – Captain Alfred Dreyfus' wrongful conviction for treason. It invites viewers to contemplate not only the physical surroundings but also the human story behind them; highlighting how art can capture moments that shape our understanding of history.
