EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print titled "Escrime a la Baionnette" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of military prowess and French culture. The photograph was taken by an unknown French photographer and is now part of a private collection. The image showcases soldiers from the French army engaging in bayonet fencing, known as "escrime a la baionnette". This unique form of combat training was popular among infantry troops during that era. The soldiers are seen demonstrating their skills with precision and agility, highlighting their dedication to mastering this artful technique. The setting suggests that this scene might have taken place in Africa, as it features elements associated with the French forces stationed there. The soldiers belong to the Armee d'Afrique (Army of Africa), which played a significant role in France's colonial history on the continent. This historical photograph provides us with insight into both military practices and cultural aspects of 19th-century France. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and discipline exhibited by these soldiers while also shedding light on their contribution to French overseas territories. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through its Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance.
