A poster in the form of a board game illustrated with the actors and episodes of the Dreyfus Affair. At the center a nude woman is depicted standing on a well in an allusion to the French proverb, "the truth lies at the bottom of the well". The four corners are decorated with other symbolic images: drawing lots, the tablets of human rights broken, a military cap on the scale, and masks swept away.
