A rare print of a fencing match between the Chevalier de Saint-George (left), the son of a French Caribbean plantation owner and a woman he enslaved, and the transgender pioneer the Chevaliere d'Eon. I'm sure the exhibition was presented as a curiosity to the spectators, but I think they both look pretty cool. From the collection of the late Ricky Jay.
