ZOLA EN IMAGES - Zola in Images - 280 photographs, portraits, caricatures, drawings, and documents related to Émile Zola at the height of the Dreyfus Affair, by Johm Grand Carteret. Paris 1908 - First Edition.
A unique publication that gathers countless photographs and cartoons that appeared in the press, posters and various publications for and against Émile Zola during the affair in which he defended the Jewish officer Alfred Dreyfus and paid for it with his personal life. The book examines the different elements used by illustrators to portray Zola's figure in a different light each time according to the occurrence of the affair, and also deals with the obsession of various illustrators to mockingly depict Zola in order to directly defame him and Dreyfus whom he defended.
