World’s First Saber Video; France, c. 1880 by Michael http://fencingclassics.wordpress.com/2008/12/20/ooooh-aaaahhh-worlds-first-saber-video-france-c-1880/#comment-266 Michael Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:53:54 +0000 http://fencingclassics.wordpress.com/?p=475#comment-266 This is a folioscope. Heavily staged and made for the purposes of entertainment to the masses rather than fencing instruction. Improvised on the spot, i would say. The left fencer appears to be using stage (for the theatre) technique while the right fencer appears to be military trained. For me it is nice to see a comparison of two different styles. I have seen this before in a book, well done on purring it into video! <b><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x4rmnu" rel="nofollow">Flip-Book : LA MEMOIRE DU GESTE</a></b><i>by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/heeza" rel="nofollow">heeza</a></i> This is a folioscope.

Can you post a picture of the backside of the card? Are you sure it's Italian? I'm thinking more about Spanish or French. Just a thought because of the french grip on the weapon and word which may read "congratulation".... All the best T.

All the best
