[THE DREYFUS AFFAIR]. [DASSY de LIGNIÈRES] Le Papier du Bordereau. Extra-Light Tissue Paper. Antiseptic. Anti-nicotine [Paris], June 1899. An extremely rare set of 6 cigarette paper cases from a series of 10 cases created to illustrate 10 key moments in the Dreyfus Affair, with the aim of raising public awareness of the Dreyfus cause. These are numbers 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 10. They are illustrated with images from the Dreyfus Affair and portraits of its defenders. These booklets are designed as a three-panel foldout, printed on both sides. On one panel, on the front, are the brand, characteristics, and properties of the paper (pelure); on another panel, on the front, is an illustration of an episode from the Dreyfus Affair up to 1899. In a medallion is the portrait of a prominent figure who intervened “in defense of the Law and the Honor of France” (sic). Inside all the booklets (on the reverse side) is a summary of the Affair between 1894 and 1899 “in fewer than 400 words” and a facsimile of a fragment of the Bordereau. The sheets of paper are inserted into the booklet. Very good condition. Bibliography: A photograph of these cases can be found on p. 10.29 of the book *The Dreyfus Affair*, published by the Dreyfus Affair Centennial Committee in 1994.
