ALFRED DREYFUS. Black-bordered Third Person ALS: "Commandant Alfred Dreyfus", 1p, 4½x7. No place, 1911 March 20. In French, translated. In full: "Commandant Alfred Dreyfus, Headquarters of the Artillery, at Montmorency, (Seine-et-Oise), has the honor of sending you herewith a postal draft of the sum of 11 francs for the extension of his subscription to the Journal de Guerre [War Journal] from April 1 to July 1, 1911." French Army officer Alfred Dreyfus was convicted of treason in 1894 and imprisoned on Devil's Island. An 1898 investigation, forced largely by writer Émile Zola, proved that papers on which he had been convicted were forged. The case became the center of a major political division in France in which anti-Semitism played a major part. Dreyfus was tried and convicted a second time in 1899 but was pardoned by French President Émile Loubet (see Lot 291). After his original conviction was set aside in 1906, Dreyfus was restored to his rank and was awarded the Legion of Honor. Lightly soiled. Red ink note (unknown hand) upper right corner. Border is nicked and torn at top edge. Two file holes at left margin.
