Dreyfus Affair - CHARPENTIER, Armand (1864-1949), Dreyfusard - Lot 116
Dreyfus Affair - CHARPENTIER, Armand (1864-1949), Dreyfusard journalist, pacifist activist, censor from 1915 to 1918, collaborator during the 2nd War, seeing in Hitler a pacifist, is a French writer. In 1926, in his book "La Guerre et la Patrie", prefaced by Barbusse, he opposed warrior patriotism. Four signed autograph letters and a text of 3 pages 8° in small handwriting. This text of three pages sent to a "confrere". This text responds to an enquiry which apparently asks whether appeasement is possible. Armand Charpentier takes up the situation again after the Dreyfus Affair. France must become Dreyfusarde. Two letters concern this document: a covering letter dated November 2, 1899 (1 p. ½ in-12) and a letter on the following 4 noting the refusal of the "Figaro" to publish his text and writing to his dear colleague that he "leaves it to him to use it for the best of the cause"... Letter dated January 17, 1919 to a colleague and friend asking him for documentation: "I have just started to write my memories of the censor" (2 p. ½ 8°). Letter of September 2, 1920 to a "dear friend" whom he thanks for having sent him an autograph of Félix Fénéon, which he had just received at home with his wife... (2 p. 8°). Nice set.
