Postcards taken from the honorary ceremony held for Dreyfus at ECOLE MILITAIRE after his acquittal. Paris, 1906
12 Real photo postcards from the honorary ceremony held for Alfred Dreyfus in the courtyard of the ECOLE MILITAIRE after his acquittal in 1906.
On July 12, 1906, the Court of Appeals overturned the verdict of the Berne Court. A day later, the National Assembly decides by majority vote to restore to Dreyfus and Picard the ranks of officers who have been deprived of them, and to raise Dreyfus to the rank of major and to award him the Legion of Honor. On July 21, the ECOLE MILITAIRE held an honorary ceremony in the presence of the military, its family, and its close friends, as the weighty response to the ceremony of humiliation that took place exactly 11 years earlier in which its ranks were removed after being accused of betrayal in the homeland.
In the postcards: Major Tarz explains to the press the order of the ceremony, Dreyfus, after being decorated with General Jean and Major Tarz, General Jean gives Dreyfus the Legion of Honor cross, Major Dreyfus returns to his military service, Dreyfus arrives in the carriage of honor, and more.
From the requested postcards around the Dreyfus Affair.
2 mailed, very fine condition.
