About the Item

Fencing Caricatures by Mich, Paris 1907 - Silhouettes and Caricatures Fencing Caricatures by Mich, from the 1907 Parisian publication *A nous touchés, Silhouettes et Caricatures du Monde de l'Escrime*, published by L. Hannequin. This delightful set of caricature lithographs showcases the wit and humor of the fencing world as depicted by the talented artist known as "Mich." Each print captures a vivid snapshot of a fencer, featuring dynamic movement, exaggerated expressions, and the whimsical flair characteristic of early 20th-century French satire. These prints are not only artistically engaging but also a charming record of the fencing masters, students, and characters who brought the sport to life in the Belle Époque. Mich's deft line work, careful use of color, and sharp observation reveal the personality and attitude of each subject—making them a treasure for lovers of fencing, vintage illustration, or French cultural history. Additional information: The figures depicted in these prints are caricatures of actual fencers and personalities from the world of fencing in Paris around the turn of the 20th century. Mich, the artist, was known for his sharp satirical eye, and these portraits poke fun at the recognizable fencing figures of his time. While some names in the images are partially obscured or playfully abbreviated (e.g., "Capitaine Comte de la F…se," "M. Di…on Ka…agh," "Louis Mé…ac"), they hint at actual people from the fencing circles of that era. Here’s what I can deduce: 1. Capitaine Comte de la F…se This is likely a humorous nod to a real or fictional French fencing master or officer of noble standing. “Comte de la F…se” is likely a partial or intentionally obscured surname, typical of caricature works meant to be cheeky without naming names too directly. 2. M. Di…on Ka…agh This is another partial name that suggests a fencing enthusiast or notable from the Parisian fencing world. The truncated “Ka…agh” could suggest a foreign-sounding name, perhaps Irish or Scottish (e.g., "Kavanagh"?). 3. Louis Mé…ac Similarly, this is probably “Louis Mé…ac” with the final letters purposefully omitted. It might be referencing an instructor or fencing master known by fencing students in Paris. In the context of Paris in 1907, fencing was a fashionable pastime as well as a serious sport. Mich’s illustrations captured the foibles, vanity, and elegance of this world—whether poking fun at overly proud masters or capturing the nervous energy of students. Unfortunately, because these names are incomplete, precise biographical details are elusive. However, these images beautifully document the fencing community's characters, full of energy and distinct personalities, which fencing enthusiasts and art collectors alike find fascinating. Condition Report: The lithographs are in good condition with slight age-related toning. Edges may show some wear typical of early 20th-century paper, but the images themselves remain bright and sharp. Framing Tips: For an elegant presentation, consider using black or dark wooden frames with a soft off-white mat. This neutral backdrop will allow the lively caricatures and expressive poses to stand out beautifully.
