G. Picqart, Clemeceau, etc. showing figures in the pro-Dreyfus camp as disgusting half-animal creatures and showing members of the anti-Dreyfus camp as patriots and heroes. The publication was stopped by the police after issue #51; condition is fine - very fine (x50) light marginal faults as expected, lithos not stained or torn, a historic & interesting set
