About the Item

Fencing Caricature of Adolphe Tavernier by Mich, Paris 1907 This engaging lithograph by Mich, published in Paris in 1907 as part of the collection *A nous touchés, Silhouettes et Caricatures du Monde de l'Escrime*, offers a playful glimpse into the refined social circles and fencing culture of the Belle Époque. The work features a caricature of Adolphe Tavernier—an influential Parisian art critic and cultural commentator—seated in the foreground, his posture relaxed and demeanor amused as he observes a fencing bout. The fencer in the foreground lunges dramatically, while in the background, a figure in red livery watches on with an air of theatrical curiosity. Mich’s dynamic composition contrasts the lively energy of the fencing world with the poised, slightly detached observer. His trademark use of bold black lines and selective splashes of color—most notably the red accents—imbues the scene with both sophistication and humor. This print is not merely a portrait of a moment in sport; it’s a commentary on the social theater of fencing, where elegance and performance met. Mich’s skillful rendering captures the very essence of early 20th-century Parisian life, making it a delightful addition to any collection of fencing memorabilia, French caricature art, or Belle Époque ephemera. Condition Report: This lithograph is in good condition, with some natural toning to the paper due to age. Minor edge wear is visible, typical for unframed prints from the early 20th century, but the image itself remains crisp and vibrant. Framing Tips: For an elegant and period-appropriate display, consider a simple black wooden frame with a cream or off-white mat to highlight the sophisticated humor of the caricature. Alternatively, a thin gold or brass frame can add a touch of vintage Parisian flair, emphasizing the Belle Époque charm of the scene.
