EDITORS COMMENTS
En Garde M Sieu: A Charming Glimpse into Bertrands Fencing Club's Sabre Championship of 1930 This delightful caricature by Fred May, published in The Tatler on August 16, 1930, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of Bertrands Fencing Club and its Sabre Championship held in that year. The image showcases several prominent members of the club, including President A. Miller Hallett, Admiral the Hon. W.S. Leveson-Gower, A. Pillbrow, Prof Leon, Felix Bertrand, and Lieut T.P. Saunders. The scene is set in the club's headquarters, with the fencers poised and ready for action. President Miller Hallett, dressed in a formal suit and holding a sabre, presides over the event with the grace and dignity befitting his position. To his left, Admiral Leveson-Gower, a distinguished gentleman in uniform, stands tall and alert, his sabre at the ready. In the foreground, Pillbrow, Prof Leon, and Felix Bertrand engage in a lively sabre bout, their focused expressions and determined stances conveying the intensity and excitement of the competition. In the background, Hodgson and Saunders observe the action with keen interest, their sabres at their sides. Fred May's expert use of humor and caricature adds a lighthearted touch to this depiction of the Sabre Championship at Bertrands Fencing Club. The image not only captures the spirit of the event but also offers a fascinating snapshot of the sport and its dedicated practitioners in the early 20th century.
