Selected Research Resources
Alfred Dreyfus collection, 1897-1997.
A collection of primary sources in Special Collections:  Ms. 422

Includes published material and illustrated material that document the famous trial of Alfred Dreyfus accused of treason in 1894. Published writings, original drawings, posters, and other illustrations that capture the events and reactions of leading figures, all part of the historical affair. Original published works of Jean Jaures, Jules Guerin, and Hermann-Paul (Hermann Paul Rene Georges) are included. Of interest is a set of lithographs titled "Musee des Horreurs" which depict prominent supporters of Dreyfus, statesmen, journalists, and Jewish leaders as animals. The series was published in 1899 at the opening of the Paris World's Fair. There are also twelve original copies of "Le Petit Journal, supplement illustré" (1897-1899) with front and back page drawings in color depicting events related to the Dreyfus trial. Final items in the collections are twenty-nine original pencil drawings mostly by the French illustrator, Louis Malteste (pseudonym used by Jacques d'Icy). Included are portraits of Alfred Dreyfus, Emile Zola, Henri Rochefort, Ferdinand Forzinetti, and Fernand Labori.
