  Now days the fencing coach wears a black jacket, as this man does. You can see that he is guiding his student's blade into his target area for a point.

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks for the information! We’ll look into it.

• Graham Pressey said:

  Also, that's definately foil, not epee. I agree that it's a coach giving a lesson too.

• Edwin Wisse said:

  I don't know whether you put photos into groups but the people at Fencing, would be interested in this photo and we'd love to have this added to the group!

• Spenser.Cat said:

  looks like teacher right is demonstrating how to heep hand high when doing a thrust. Notice him supporting the blade from beneath.

  Cairns Post Office Erected in 1937 was Cairns fourth post office and the third on this site (the first in 1886 and the second in 1907). It has a restrained Art Deco Style which was popular with government architects in the 1930s. It is a masonry building with a terracotta tiled roof The building has now been renovated and adapted inside for business purposes. The original “Cairns Post Office” sign can be seen behind the DFS Galleria sign. Source: www.oswayfarer.com/post-offices/#:~:text=Cairns
