The Revision of the Dreyfus trial.
Ordre des avocats de Paris . L’Illustration. 3 juin 1899. 22x32cm.In June 1899, the Cour de cassation decided that there should be a retrial of the Dreyfus affair.It pronounced its judgement after the presentation of a favourable report by Presiding judge Ballot-Beaupré. The artist has shown the judge reading. The orator looks confident and concentrated; his robe, trimmed with ermine – a reminder of his rank as presiding judge – stresses the authority of the person who embodies the supremacy of justice..
