"Museum of Horrors is a series of anti-Dreyfusard, nationalist, anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic caricatures, drawn and published in France by Victor Lenepveu between October 1899 and December 1900, in the form of lithographed posters... Pictured is General André, as a valet, who holds a chamber pot with the initials of Joseph Reinach containing a crumpled piece of paper on which is written "Dreyfus Affair". The title and numerous Masonic symbols (three points in a triangle) denounce the supposed links of the new Minister of War with Freemasonry... The Dreyfus affair (French: affaire Dreyfus, pronounced [afɛːʁ dʁɛfys]) was a political scandal that divided the Third French Republic from 1894 until its resolution in 1906. The scandal began in December 1894 when Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a 35-year-old Alsatian French artillery officer of Jewish descent, was wrongfully convicted of treason for communicating French military secrets to the German Embassy in Paris... The Dreyfus affair came to symbolise modern injustice in the Francophone world; it remains one of the most notable examples of a miscarriage of justice and of antisemitism. The affair divided France into pro-republican, anticlerical Dreyfusards and pro-army, mostly Catholic anti-Dreyfusards, embittering French politics and encouraging radicalisation." (Wikipedia)
