DREYFUS CASE - Correspondence to Daniel HALEVY Important set - Lot 8
DREYFUS CASE - Correspondence to Daniel HALEVY Important set of signed letters or cards addressed to him, mainly related to the Dreyfus Case. Among the 50 letters inventoried, there are several very interesting letters from Lucien Herr, active defender of human rights, who was at the origin of the meeting of Dreyfusard intellectuals and who launched a petition in favour of Dreyfus. These letters mention in particular his meetings with Clemenceau, whose statesman will be delighted. He will walk with enthusiasm, with his pen, his word and his purse... The great difficulty, however, was to obtain from Clemenceau a sort of formal commitment for an article not yet written. If the article was done, or only sketched, the best thing would be to let him see it... . He would like to resume the old project by asking all those we will see, their possible adhesion for a tribute to Zola . . There is also a letter from Picquart, letters from Joseph and Salomon Reinach, Paul Lapie, Robert Dreyfus, Romain Rolland (copies), Camille Mauclair, Fernand Gregh, the architect Georges Vaudoyer, Elie Halévy, Emile Strauss (autograph note), Charles Richet, Eugène Rouart, etc. We enclose an envelope with Zola's autograph address addressed to Daniel Halévy, an envelope on which Halévy annotated: This envelope, addressed to me, contained what? I don't remember. Probably a list of names, a document because I can't find any letter written by Zola. Also enclosed is a draft of a magazine founded for the Dreyfus Affair, with a list of names likely to collaborate in it and finally a sketchbook, signed J. Goubert, Marquis de la Dèche, dated September 21, 1899, and titled Le fin de Siècle Malade , representing spectators of the Dreyfus Affair with their comments. Some drawings also refer to the incredible episode at Fort Chabrol.
