Issue no. 704 of the French newspaper L'Aurore, conspicuously headlined with the essay "Lettre à Madame Alfred Dreyfus" [Letter to Madam Alfred Dreyfus], by Émile Zola. Paris, September 22, 1899. French.
The essay, composed as an open letter from Zola to Alfred Dreyfus' wife, was written by Zola immediately upon his learning of Dreyfus' pardon. It was printed in L'Aurore three days later, the day after the pardon was officially made public.
The French writer and publicist Émile Zola (1840-1902) was a prominent supporter of Alfred Dreyfus. His famous essay "J'Accuse!" (considered by many the most famous newspaper article of all time) was also published in L'Aurore, in January 1898. In the present essay - which can be viewed as a summary of the Dreyfus Affair, an epilogue to the struggle for justice that opened with J’Accuse! - Zola refers to the conclusion of the Dreyfus Affair and expresses his delight at Dreyfus' pardon.
4 pp, 61.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Stains and creases. Tears to margins. Creases with tears, a few open, which have been professionally restored (with minor damage to the text).
