EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of ladies fencing in the 1920s, as Miss Neligan (right) proudly holds aloft the Baptiste Bertrand Memorial Cup, having triumphed in the prestigious competition held in 1928. The Baptiste Bertrand Cup was a unique event, open only to lady amateurs of British nationality who had never fenced in a final pool of the Ladies Foil Championship, and who had not fought as members of an international foil team. The competition was a testament to the growing popularity of fencing as a sport for women, and the dedication and skill of its participants. Miss Neligan's determined expression and poised stance contrast sharply with the elegant yet understated attire of her runner-up, Miss Venables, who looks on with a gracious smile. The image captures the timeless beauty of the sport, with its focus on agility, precision, and mental fortitude. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of women's fencing in the 1920s, a decade marked by social change, artistic innovation, and a renewed interest in physical activity and athleticism. The Baptiste Bertrand Memorial Cup competition was named after the renowned French fencer, Baptiste Bertrand, who had been a champion of the sport in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cup was a cherished symbol of excellence and achievement for the female fencers of the time, and this photograph serves as a reminder of their dedication, skill, and passion for the sport.
