Another very early extremely short film by the Edison Manufacturing Company. It includes two anonymous fencers going against each other. The sport was one of the founding disciplines of the Olympic Games of the modern era, so who knows. In any case, it lot more popular back then than it is today, so one can understand why this discipline was considered worthy enough to be put on tape.
Also, even at such a short length, it extremely aesthetic to watch the two in their aesthetic uniforms, which actually don't look much different than today's and I certainly wouldn't have minded if this had had a longer running time maybe similar to the one from the Newark Athlete.
