Picture yourself in a quaint little French village. The streets are paved, horses hooves clatter in the street and you can glimpse the turret of the local château.

But what is this click click sound that you hear? You turn a corner and here they are, in tan breeches, flowing lace at their wrists and dashing waistcoats bringing color to the scene... these young gentlemen are learning the art of Escrime. Don't you want you could go back to these swashbuckling times?

This elegant large format reprint of a delightful 1936 vintage French fencing poster will take you there. This is a high-quality contemporary reproduction of an antique dictionary plate, which illustrated the "Escrime" article (fencing in French). Each picture shows a different position or technique and is identified by their French name right next to the drawing. Aren't these little figures elegant fencers? They capture the spirit of the sport so perfectly!

Frame it and gift it to your favorite fencing lover to decorate their den, fencing club, dojo, man cave or office !

This poster was made by scanning an original 1936 fencing print at very high resolution. The original print was intended to be seen at a much smaller magnification so that some printing defects, present in the original, may appear with a large size poster. I have chosen to keep these defects as they are part of the charm of these lovingly handcrafted antique prints.

The background has been tinted to a delicate linen shade, to preserve the vintage feel of the print. Pure white is available on request if you prefer the full black & white look.
