Press photograph in which Captain Alfred Dreyfus is seen leaving the courtroom of the Rennes Court House in France, on his way back to the military prison. August 7, 1899. Photo agency: Paul Popper.
This was the retrial in Rennes in which Dreyfus was "found guilty of treason with extenuating circumstances" and sentenced to ten years in prison. After ten days, and after Dreyfus agreed not to appeal the verdict, he received a pardon. In a letter from “Devil’s Island” Dreyfus wrote to his wife Lucie: “My honor belongs to me. That is the legacy I bequeath to my children. I demanded that honor from my country”.
