No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Text in Dutch, authorised translation. Serial complete, 130 parts. Drawings in the text. Popularized story of the so-called Dreyfus-Affair in France. Alfred Dreyfus (1859-1935), accused of high treason and, after a highly unfair courtmarshal behind closed doors, bereft of his rank and sentenced for a life-long banishment to Devil's Island, french Guyana. The case was re-opened, under political and judicial pressure, in 1899. Dreyfus was n't fully rehabilitated, but gained a pardon on humanitary grounds. Full rehabilitation was granted in 1906. During the Great War, Dreyfus participated in the defence of Paris. The cause of this Affair can be attributed to strong feelings of anti-semitism in the french army at the time, especially amongst high-ranking officers. Size: 228 x 138 Mm Stapled. Book.
