About the Item

Here’s a comprehensive listing for this three-print compilation: --- Fencing Caricatures by Mich, Paris 1907 – Humorous Belle Époque Series Description: This delightful compilation of caricature lithographs was created by the talented French artist Mich in 1907 and published in the collection 'A nous touchés, Silhouettes et Caricatures du Monde de l'Escrime' by L. Hannequin. Mich’s humorous take on the fencing world of Belle Époque Paris shines through in these three vibrant prints, each brimming with dynamic energy and social satire. The left panel features a chaotic series of fencing mishaps by Jean St…n, humorously interrupted by a cameo of a man and his horse, adding a whimsical touch that underscores the theatricality of the fencing scene. The center panel depicts the contrast between a dignified, dapper gentleman—Marcel et Jacques Bou…ger—and a focused, determined fencer striking a classic pose. The right panel brings together a lively group of fencing characters: Armand Lu…iez, portrayed in a dramatic and almost comedic lunge; M. Héb…rd, with his weary, slightly disillusioned expression; and Willy Suls…er, wrapped in an overcoat and looking rather nonchalant. Mich’s skillful use of bold lines, contrasting earth tones, and pops of color infuses each figure with personality and wit. These prints not only highlight the athletic elegance of fencing but also the vibrant social scene and idiosyncratic figures of Parisian sporting life. This series is a charming tribute to the fencing culture of the early 20th century and a testament to Mich’s playful artistic style. During the Belle Époque, fencing was more than a sport—it was a social performance, a dance of wit and precision that was as much about style as it was about skill. Mich’s lively line work, crisp shading, and occasional pops of color (like the horse’s warm brown coat) bring these characters to life with affectionate humor and a keen eye for detail. These prints are a vibrant window into the sporting and social spirit of early 20th-century Paris. Keywords for online listing: fencing caricatures, Mich artist, Belle Époque Paris, vintage lithographs, fencing ephemera, French sports history, equestrian humor, early 20th-century prints, Parisian satire, antique fencing art. Condition Report: These lithographs are in good condition for their age, with typical minor age-related toning and slight edge wear expected of unframed prints from the early 20th century. The colors remain fresh, and the linework is crisp and sharp, maintaining the lively energy of Mich’s caricatures. Framing Suggestions: To preserve the vintage charm and highlight the artwork’s humor and historical significance, consider framing these prints together in a triptych-style black or dark wooden frame with a neutral mat. Alternatively, separate them into individual frames with a thin gold accent to bring out the warm color palette and add a touch of Parisian sophistication to any space.
