EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Image for Laughter, number 4" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Dreyfus affair. Created by the talented illustrator Alphonse Hector Columbus, also known as B. Moloch or Moloch, this illustration captures the essence of the scandal that rocked France in the late 19th century. Intriguingly, at its center stands an unknown angel, symbolizing hope and justice amidst a tumultuous time. The Dreyfus affair involved Captain Alfred Dreyfus, who was wrongfully accused of treason and sent to Devil Island for his alleged crimes. This image serves as a reminder of his unjust imprisonment and highlights the struggle he faced during those dark days. Accompanying him is Auguste Scherer-Kestner, one of Dreyfus's staunch supporters who fought tirelessly for his exoneration. Together they represent resilience and determination against all odds. Alphonse Hector Columbus skillfully portrays these historical figures with his signature caricature style, capturing their emotions while shedding light on the injustice they endured. This print not only serves as a visual representation of an important event but also invites viewers to reflect on themes such as prejudice, corruption, and ultimately triumph over adversity. It is through art like this that we can remember our past struggles and strive towards creating a more just society today.
