[THE DREYFUS AFFAIR]. [DASSY de LIGNIÈRES], Le Papier du Bordereau. Extra-Light Tissue Paper. Antiseptic. Anti-nicotine [Paris], June 1899. An extremely rare complete set of 10 cigarette paper cases illustrating 10 moments from the Dreyfus Affair, intended to raise public awareness of the Dreyfus cause. 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 side are the brand name, characteristics, and properties of the paper (pelure); on another panel on the front side 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 each booklet (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 page 10.29 of the book *The Dreyfus Affair*, published by the Dreyfus Affair Centennial Committee in 1994. A complete set of these cases is housed at the Musée du Papier in Angoulême.
