Both would introduce in their work shared ideas about violence and lies. In addition, Ibels' text “Est-ce une Croix ou un Sabre?...”, presented in his artwork, and Zola's “Lettre à la France” both shared their shared ideas about a “sickness” France was suffering in their citizen's support of anti-Dreyfusard. Ibels expressed this ideology of a sickness by utilizing imagery of exhausted and tired soldiers in his drawings to demonstrate uniformed, conformity amongst citizens in support of anti-Dreysford. As Zola has famously said, "Discipline means obedience," Zola expressed an overarching view of soldiers unwilling to rule against a commander in chief for fear of punishment, an ideology that is also reflected in Ibels' work.In addition, they both had a share of language. Ibels' “Le Coup de Pùre François” and Zola's use of words such as “tyranny”, “boot”, “sword”, and “dictator” created a sense of menace. 258: 439:
early Dreyfusards (Those who supported Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish captain in the French Army) to prove the innocence of Alfred Dreyfus in his conviction of selling military secrets to the German government. As a result, this caused a series of anti-Jewish controversies that Ibels addressed in his artwork, knows as “Dreyfusard art”. Before the Dreyfus affair, Ibels was like a vigilante artist supporting the cause but would soon publicly come out and change his stance in the Jewish newspaper, La Libre Parole. In specific, Ibels' artwork of caricatures was created in an effort to present how the Dreyfus Affair was more of a French rather than Jewish issue. It was through his artwork that he would campaign to counteract ideas of national identity in France, that attempted to exclude Jews, in an effort to go against the ideas of anti-Dreyfusism and become an activist for social change.

Artwork such as LaTerre  would present his, and Zola's, involvement in political-activism during this time. In addition, because he had experienced a position in both sides, his iconography during the Dreyfus Affair would become recognized as an encyclopedia of blogger-like pro- or anti-Dreyfus imagery. For example, Ibels' visuals, such as the cover of his 1898 “Allons-y! Histoire Contemporaine,” was published in an effort to mock and question military's interference in civilian court, and indicate the Jewish had no association in the movement that grew around Dreyfus. As a result, Ibels became recognized as the driving force behind the popularization of "Allons-y!" as a catchphrase associated with artwork aimed at exposing and criticizing anti-Dreyfusard propaganda. 226: 210: 242: 180:

And in 1892, he created eight color lithographs for the 1892-93 season of the Theatre Libre in Montmartre. Inspired by contemporary life, Ibels' work consisted of subjects drawn from modern Paris such as the cafe, boxing rings, and the circus. The characteristics in subject and technique of simplistic colors and shapes within his work can also be likened to artists such a as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Adolphe Willette, and Theophile Alexandre Steinlen.

technique, in which he used tiny dots of color to create a sense of light and form in his paintings. His work often focused on capturing the effects of light and color through flat silhouettes, which can be seen is his work such as the Cafe Concert. On the other hand, Ibels's lithographs often showcased a more narrative-driven approach, with bold lines and rich textures. Regardless of differences, the incorporation of Ibels' lithographs into other artist's drawings suggest that Ibel's work was influential.
