Caricature of an unidentified man (probably Alfred Dreyfus) as a dog sitting in a large cooking pot. Dreyfus, a Jew, and a captain in the French Army was falsely convicted of treason, tortured, and exiled for allegedly selling French military intelligence to the Germans in 1895. In 1906, an appeals court pronounced Dreyfus' innocence and he was re-instated in the army and promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Hand colored.
Caricatures from Musée des Horreurs and Musée des Patriotes depicting the anti-Semitic sentiment in France during the Dreyfus Affair, published between 1899 and 1900.
