Gentlemen fencers of the Nineteenth Century, poised at Stone Mills by the Bay of Quinte, make their return thrust against the Quinte Thrust. In this engraving, one fencer stands crouched with legs apart, saber in hand, while the other assumes a defensive parry position. A nod to Rabelais' "Quinte Essence," where Queen Entelechie cures all diseases through the power of music, these fencing positions echo the timeless art of combat and the essence of Quinte's rich history.
