The Roaring Twenties
Female foil fencing phalanx…
This private photograph for the Frauenfechtabteilung (Women’s Fencing Squad) of the Wiesbaden Fechtklub depicts the female fencing gear of the period. At that time, Italian fencing techniques were firmly entrenched in Germany… a fact reflected in the type of foil tucked in by each fencer.
This is great. What wonderful images you’ve shared.
