About the Item
Fencing Masters and Students by Mich, Paris 1907 – Belle Époque Caricatures
Description:
This captivating set of caricature lithographs by the renowned artist Mich was published in Paris in 1907 as part of the collection *A nous touchés, Silhouettes et Caricatures du Monde de l'Escrime*. It vividly captures the lively spirit of the fencing world during the Belle Époque through Mich’s witty and charming style.
On the left panel, two distinguished fencing masters – *Le Maître Ra…us* and *Le Maître Ro…iol* – face each other in a dramatic standoff, rendered with sharp black lines and accented by a striking green background that gives the scene a modern yet vintage appeal. Their distinctive mustaches, confident postures, and period-appropriate fencing attire highlight the precision and discipline of the sport, while subtly poking fun at their proud and theatrical expressions.
On the right panel, *Le professeur Ba…ry* brandishes his foil with authority, his bearded visage and intense gaze suggesting the seriousness of his craft. Opposite him stands *Comte de Mal…ki*, a noble figure with a more relaxed and even flamboyant demeanor, striking a poised, self-assured stance with one hand on his hip.
Mich’s expert caricature work captures not just the personalities of these fencing masters and students but also the vibrant social atmosphere of early 20th-century Paris. The exaggerated features, playful contrasts, and crisp, clean lines evoke a sense of elegance and humor that transcends time, offering a charming glimpse into a bygone era of sport and society.
Condition Report:
This lithograph compilation is in good condition, with natural age toning and very minor edge wear typical for unframed prints from the early 20th century. The images remain sharp and clear, with no major tears or stains, and the colors (especially the green background) are well-preserved.
Framing Suggestions:
For a refined, gallery-worthy presentation, consider framing these prints in a simple black or dark wooden frame with a neutral cream or off-white mat. This will enhance the crisp black lines and period charm of the caricatures. Alternatively, a thin gold frame can add a subtle Parisian elegance, beautifully complementing the Belle Époque spirit of the artwork.
