Large poster containing photographs depicting Alfred Dreyfus' retrial in Rennes, September 9, 1899, from the HARPRES WEEKLY.

Eight photographs from the courtroom and adjacent streets: In the center, a photograph of Casimir Perier seen while giving testimony to the Jury, Dreyfus is seen to the right. Audiences in the courtroom, as well as other photographs of the Occurrences in the streets adjacent to the court.

On September 9, Dreyfus' verdict was decided in the retrial: "In the name of the French people, by a majority of five votes against two, yes, the defendant is found guilty." [From reading the judgment by Colonel Albert Joust]. In this trial, the tribunal decided to recognize "extenuating circumstances" and, in contrast to the previous time, sentenced Dreyfus to the revocation of his ranks for the second time and ten years in prison in France itself.

Size: 55x40 cm. Very good condition.
