EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a significant moment in history, depicting the Dreyfus case and the testimony of graphology expert Alphonse Bertillon at the Rennes trial in 1899. The image showcases an unknown artist's skillful engraving, now part of a private collection. The Dreyfus case was a highly controversial lawsuit that shook France to its core. It revolved around Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer falsely accused of treason and convicted based on forged evidence. This event had profound political implications and exposed deep-rooted anti-Semitism within French society. In this particular scene, we see Alphonse Bertillon providing his expertise as a graphology expert during the trial. Graphology is the study of handwriting analysis, which played a crucial role in examining documents related to Dreyfus' alleged crimes. The composition exudes tension and drama as Bertillon testifies under intense scrutiny. His deposition could potentially sway the outcome of this historic trial that divided public opinion across religious lines. This photograph serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of one of France's most infamous legal battles. It reminds us of the power dynamics at play during that era, where religion intersected with politics in ways that shaped national identity. Giancarlo Costa's print allows us to reflect on this pivotal moment in time while honoring those who fought for justice amidst prejudice and discrimination.
