As you are probably aware I spend as much time looking at the back of our postcards as I do looking at the picture at the front. The signature on the front of this card caught my eye – could it really be?….
Rob spent ages trawling the internet to find documents which were actually signed by
Alfred Dreyfus. There were plenty of documents about him – he was wrongly accused of treason in the late 19th century. His main crime was being Jewish and from Alsace (There are certain regions of France where the people weren’t considered really French). He later served for his country during the first world war and received the legion of Honour.
We think that it might just be his signature and so we’ve put the card up for auction on ebay in the autograph department. The card itself announces the opening or the Palace Hotel in “French Brighton” at Cayeux-sur-Mer.
I'll let you know what happens next.
