This black and white lithograph, titled "Positions in fencing" takes us back to the early 20th century. The image showcases various stances and moves used in the art of fencing, providing a glimpse into this historic sport. Displayed against a plain background, each figure is depicted with precision and elegance. From guards to lunges, engagements to parries, every position is meticulously illustrated. This print was originally created as an illustration for The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia around 1922, offering readers a visual guide to understanding the intricacies of fencing. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate the skill required in mastering this ancient martial art form. Fencing has long been regarded as an elegant display of agility and strategy, where opponents engage in duels using swords or foils. Each position showcased here represents a specific move that fencers adopt during their bouts. As we examine this lithograph closely, we can almost imagine ourselves witnessing these fencers engaged in intense combat. Their poised expressions reveal determination and focus while executing precise techniques such as tierce or quart. This artwork serves not only as a historical record but also as an educational tool for those interested in learning about traditional forms of combat.
