EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic fencing fight between two renowned figures of the 18th century, the knight of Eon de Beaumont and Monsieur de Saint George. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, showcases the intensity and skill involved in this combat sport. Taking place on April 9th, 1787, this duel is depicted with great detail and precision. Both fencers are seen engaged in a fierce battle of blades, their movements fluid and calculated. The composition exudes a sense of tension as these skilled adversaries face off against each other. The Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet houses this remarkable piece that offers us a glimpse into the world of fencing during this era. It serves as a testament to the popularity and significance of dueling as both a sport and means for settling disputes during that time. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, this image allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind the original engraving but also provides insight into historical events that shaped society centuries ago. As we observe this print today, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless appeal and its ability to transport us back to an era where honor was defended through skillful swordplay.
