EDITORS COMMENTS
Major Alfred Dreyfus's Accuser: Major François-Alphonse Aimé Douglas du Paty de MacMahon, Comte de Mahon, Marquis de Feuquières, Baron de Bois-de-Chesne, and Count Esterhazy (1847-1923), a French military officer and a key figure in the infamous Dreyfus Affair. Esterhazy, of Hungarian descent, served in the German army before joining the French military. He rose to the rank of major in the 72nd Infantry Regiment, where he gained the attention of his superiors for his exceptional intelligence and linguistic abilities. In 1894, Major Esterhazy was implicated in the forgery of a letter that incriminated Captain Alfred Dreyfus of treason. The letter, known as the "Bordereau," contained details of military secrets and was discovered in the apartment of a Jewish military officer, Alfred Dreyfus. Esterhazy's involvement in the affair came to light when he confessed to the crime under pressure from his German handlers, who wanted to protect their own spy network. Despite his confession, Esterhazy was never charged with a crime, and his reputation remained untarnished. He continued to serve in the French military until his retirement in 1914. In this portrait, taken around the turn of the century, Esterhazy is depicted in his full military regalia, with a red tunic, white breeches, and a tall, bearing a sword and sporting a prominent mustache. The image, which exudes an air of vanity and self-importance, is a stark reminder of the complex web of politics, espionage, and anti-Semitism that surrounded the Dreyfus Affair and continues to fascinate historians and scholars to this day.
