Description
[THE DREYFUS AFFAIR]. [DASSY de LIGNIÈRES],
Le Papier du Bordereau. Extra-light tissue paper. Antiseptic. Anti-nicotine [Paris], June 1899.
An extremely rare complete set of 10 cigarette paper packets illustrating 10 key moments in the Dreyfus Affair, designed to raise public awareness of the Dreyfusard cause. They are illustrated with images from the Dreyfus Affair and portraits of its defenders. These booklets take the form of a three-panel leaflet, printed on both sides. On one panel on the front are the brand name, characteristics and properties of the paper (pelure); on another panel on the front is an illustration of an episode from the Dreyfus Affair up to 1899. In a medallion is the portrait of a prominent figure who intervened ‘in defence of the Law and the Honour of France’ (sic).
Inside all the booklets (on the reverse), there is a summary of the affair between 1894 and 1899 ‘in fewer than 400 words’ and a facsimile of an extract from the Bordereau.
The sheets of paper are inserted into the booklet. Very good condition.
