Print shows Uncle Sam, John Bull, and a crowd of spectators looking at seven French military officers standing and sitting in stocks. The latter are labeled “Zurlinden, Du Paty de Clam, Gonse, Roget, Mercier, Boisdeffre, [and] Esterhazy.” These officers were responsible for the conviction, and re-conviction, of Alfred Dreyfus for the charge of treason (he was ultimately exonerated).
