EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic "Portrait of General de Pellieux" by Bary, a renowned 19th-20th century photographer. The image, sourced from the Archives Larousse in Paris, France, offers a glimpse into the life of George Gabriel de Pellieux (1842-1900), a distinguished French army officer. In this three-quarter length portrait, General de Pellieux stands tall with an air of authority and confidence. His military uniform exudes power and prestige as he gazes directly at the camera. The monochromatic tones add depth to his features, emphasizing his strong jawline and piercing eyes. However, behind this striking image lies a controversial figure. General de Pellieux is best remembered for his role in the infamous Dreyfus affair—a divisive scandal that shook French society during the late 19th century. Despite overwhelming evidence pointing towards Alfred Dreyfus's innocence—an innocent Jewish officer wrongly accused of treason—de Pellieux chose to ignore these facts. This photograph serves as both a historical artifact and a reminder of the complexities within individuals' lives. It captures not only General de Pellieux's physical appearance but also hints at his character and involvement in one of France's most significant controversies. Preserved through time, this powerful portrait invites us to reflect on history's intricacies while appreciating Bary's skillful photography technique.
