Zola in 32 Caricatures – Paris, 1898 - Cartoons published in the midst of the Dreyfus affair against Emil Zola
Zola 32 caricatures, by Lebourgeois. E. Bernard edition, Paris 1898, 1st edition.
A full series of 32 colorful cartoons against Emil Zola following his support of Alfred Dreyfus. In the same year in which the cartoons were published, Zola was tried for libel and found guilty, sentenced to a year in prison and fined, he removed from the Legion of Honor and in response escaped to England. (About a year after the charge was allowed to return to France). Zola's own books and testimonials from Dreyfus's trial are used in the cartoons. Among the characters are General Henri who led the campaign against Dreyfus (the same year it became clear that an important document was forged by him and arrested, after admitting the forgery committed suicide in prison), as well as judges. In another cartoon, Zola is seen running away from France with a local soldier chasing him, in another he is shown inside a prison cell with Mice at his feet. Appears a cartoon featuring Zulla beating a drum on it written: "J'Accuse" ["I Blame" -Zola's famous article was published in January of that year], And more.
[32] cartoons. 26.5 cm. Half leather binding with gilt inscription on spine. Very good condition.
