1885 Balance Epee Fencers Fences Fencing Master Pose Pupils Simultaneously Threesome
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1885, showcases an accomplished French master fencer skillfully instructing two of his female pupils in the art of epee fencing. The threesome exudes a sense of harmony and balance as they engage in a simultaneous training session. The master's focused gaze and poised stance convey his expertise and dedication to the sport, while the determined expressions and graceful poses of his students reflect their eagerness to learn and master the elegant swordplay. Fencing, a popular pastime among the French aristocracy during the 19th century, was considered an essential skill for ladies to acquire as it not only showcased their refinement and elegance but also provided them with a means of self-defense. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the rich history of French fencing and the enduring bond between a master and his students.
