"Where's Zola? ' An early postcard issued during the hiding of Emil Zola
Wo Ist Zola? - 'Where's Zola?' - An early postcard issued while Emil Zola had fled France to London. Published by Herbst & Frank. Frankfurt am Main, c. 1898. The border lines in the form of a portrait of Zola.
After the French writer and publicist Emil Zola (1840-1902), of Alfred Dreyfus 'main supporters, published his article "L'aurore" ['I accuse '], proving Alfred Dreyfus' innocence, he was prosecuted for libel, sentenced to one year in prison and fled To England. Zola has been living in London for about a year under false names, and his place was unknown. The postcard before us, which was printed at that time, shows on the left the island of demons in which Dreyfus was imprisoned, and a map of European countries in which Zola may have been found. When part of the drawing of the boundary lines creates the portrait of Zola. When Zola learned of a retrial to Dreyfus he returned to Paris in June 1899.
The postcard was mailed in March 1898 (only two months after the publication of his article "L'aurore"). Very good condition.
