On these pages are arrayed the faces of a number of key players in the Affair. Scheurer-Kestner (p.1) was Vice-president of the senate and one of the first powerful politicians to be convinced of Dreyfus’s innocence. Drumont (upper left, p. 2) was a violent anti-Semite, the publisher of La Libre Parole, the semi-official journal of anti-Semitism and anti-dreyfusards. Drumont was also author of the propagandistic La France Juive, an ponderous work of anti-Semitic ranting and delusion, that went through several hundred editions. Beside him, Esterhazy, the true traitor for whom Dreyfus was made the scape-goat. Finally, on p. 3, Waldeck-Rousseau, the politician under whom the Affair finally was closed.
