About the Item

Fencing Caricatures by Mich, Paris 1907 – Expressive Belle Époque Satire Description: This striking triptych of caricature lithographs by the celebrated artist Mich was created in 1907 as part of the humorous fencing-themed series *A nous touchés, Silhouettes et Caricatures du Monde de l'Escrime*, published in Paris by L. Hannequin. These lively images showcase the wit and humor of Mich, who brings to life the colorful fencing culture of the Belle Époque through exaggerated postures, dramatic gestures, and subtle social commentary. The left panel features *Villy de B…st-Ga…a* in a defiant fencing stance, arms fully extended, exuding a sense of almost comedic self-importance, while *M. Ro…baun* below him strikes an exaggerated, theatrical pose, ready to parry with gusto. The center panel portrays *Lucien Mé…nac*, confidently holding his fencing mask and foil, set against a backdrop of red-tinted clouds and ghostly figures of cavalry in the distance—an evocative touch that hints at the romanticism and nostalgia of the era. The right panel, a satirical monument, lampoons *Le célèbre Tho…ex*, depicted as a corpulent figure standing triumphantly on a pedestal labeled *AU NOBLE DÉFENSEUR DE LA FINANCE FRANÇAISE, LA PATRIE RECONNAISSANTE!*—a biting commentary on the intersection of power, wealth, and honor in the Parisian elite. Mich’s vibrant lines and clever compositions capture the contradictions of the fencing world at the time—equal parts elegance, ego, and elaborate showmanship. These prints are more than just caricatures; they’re witty social documents that offer a glimpse into the humor and charm of early 20th-century Paris. Keywords for online listing: fencing caricatures, Mich artist, Belle Époque Paris, antique fencing prints, satirical art, Parisian humor, vintage lithographs, French sports culture, historical fencing imagery, early 20th-century French illustration. Condition Report: These lithographs are in good condition for their age, showing natural age toning and slight edge wear typical of unframed works from the early 20th century. The lines remain crisp, and the limited but effective color palette is well preserved, maintaining the original charm and humor of the prints. Framing Suggestions: For an elegant display, consider framing this triptych together in a wide black or dark wooden frame with a light, neutral mat to allow the humor and historical details of the prints to take center stage. Alternatively, separate frames with slim antique gold accents can create a refined and timeless presentation, perfect for adding a touch of Belle Époque flair to a modern interior.
