The Dreyfus Affair engaged the minds and passions of artists and intellectuals as few other political scandals ever have. In France at the turn of the century every important issue, truth, justice, honor, faith, and national pride, was tied to the question of Dreyfus' guilt or innocence and the manner in which he had been 'tried'. This book documents an exhibition at the Jewish Museum in New York City to provide a visual record of responses to the Affair. -- Publisher description Catalog of an exhibition held at the Jewish Museum, New York, September 13, 1987 through January 15, 1988. Includes bibliographical references (pages 311-315).
