The Dreyfus Collection includes a set of hand-colored lithographs, titled the Musée des Horreurs (Freak Show) which depict prominent supporters of Dreyfus, statesmen, journalists and Jewish leaders as animals. They were originally published as a series of 51 political posters starting in the Fall of 1899, at the opening of the Paris World’s Fair, and after Dreyfus’ re-trial at Rennes. Among those depicted in caricature are Louis Lépine, Emile Zola, Alfred Dreyfus, Georges Picquart, Georges Clemenceau, Henri Brisson, Fernand Labori, and Ludovis Travieux. The lithographs were created by an artist operating under the pseudonym V. Lenepveu, and were eventually confiscated by the police, who also stopped their production.
