An early Real-photo postcard showing the portrait of Alfred Dreyfus under the German inscription from Dreyfus: Die Freiheit ist nichts fur mich ohne die Ehre" - '' Freedom is nothing to me without respect". Below Dreyfus portrait, and again a quote from Dreyfus himself after being informed of the shortening of his sentence which was sentenced to prison: "The Government of the Republic restores my liberty. But that is not enough ... I want all France to know in a final verdict that I am innocent. My heart will only be silent when there is not a single Frenchman left who attributes to me a crime that someone else committed."

The postcard was issued in Berlin in the late 19th century at the time of the trial, after the Court of Appeals overturned the 1894 ruling and orders to put Dreyfus on returning trial in Rennes, where Dreyfus was found guilty of treason under Mitigating circumstances, towards his final pardon. Published by Max Marcus. Extremely rare.

Undivided Back, not mailed. Very good condition.
