    Early 20th Century Portrait of General Picquart

    $29.99

    This glass negative features General Georges Picquart, a prominent figure in the French military during the early 20th century. Captured between 1910 and 1915 by the Bain News Service, this photograph highlights General Picquart’s distinguished military career, which was marked by his involvement in significant events such as the Dreyfus Affair. His actions during this political scandal, particularly his efforts to uncover the truth about Captain Alfred Dreyfus’s wrongful conviction for treason, showcase Picquarts dedication to justice and integrity within the military ranks.

    General Picquart served as the head of French military intelligence and played a crucial role in the investigation that ultimately exonerated Dreyfus. This period was tumultuous for France and had lasting implications for its society and military. By the early 1900s, France was grappling with the effects of anti-Semitism, nationalism, and the erosion of public trust in its military institutions. The photograph not only documents a key historical figure but also serves as a reminder of a critical moment when personal conviction clashed with institutional pressure. Picquarts legacy endures as an example of moral courage in the face of adversity.
