EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the arrest of Lieutenant-Colonel Georges Picquart during the infamous Dreyfus case in 1898. Published in "Le Petit Parisien" a renowned journal of that time, this engraving sheds light on the prevailing anti-Semitism and political tensions in French society. Lieutenant-Colonel Georges Picquart, depicted here, was an instrumental figure in uncovering the truth behind Alfred Dreyfus's wrongful conviction for treason. As a result of his investigation, Picquart discovered evidence pointing to another officer as the true culprit. However, instead of being hailed as a hero for seeking justice, he faced opposition from powerful figures who sought to protect their own interests. The image itself is masterfully captured by Stefano Bianchetti and showcases both historical accuracy and artistic finesse. The composition draws attention to Picquart's arrest with its striking use of light and shadow. The intensity on his face reflects the weight of his actions and the consequences he would soon face. Through this photograph, we are reminded not only of one man's bravery but also of France's struggle with prejudice and injustice during this tumultuous period. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within established institutions like the army or influential publications like "Le Petit Parisien" corruption can prevail over truth. Stefano Bianchetti's work allows us to delve into history while contemplating themes such as anti-Semitism, power dynamics, and societal divisions that continue
