EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, created as an afterpiece to Thomas Rowlandson's illustration in Domenico Angelo's "The School of Fencing," published in London in 1787, offers a glimpse into the elegant and intricate world of 18th-century gentlemen's swordplay. The image depicts two fencers poised in their respective guard and thrust positions, showcasing the inside-guard called Carte and the inside-thrust called Thrust in Carte. The fencers' focused expressions and meticulously arranged clothing reflect the intense concentration and discipline required for mastering the art of the duel. Domenico Angelo, an Italian fencing master, was a prominent figure in the European fencing scene during the late 18th century. His influential fencing manual, "The School of Fencing," was widely adopted by fencing schools and academies across Europe and the Americas. Angelo's teachings emphasized the importance of footwork, agility, and precision in the execution of various fencing techniques. The copperplate engraving, produced after Rowlandson's original illustration, highlights the intricacies of the fencing positions and techniques. The Carte guard, as depicted in the image, involves crossing the right foot behind the left, while the Thrust in Carte position requires a slight bend in the front knee and a forward lean. These positions allowed fencers to protect themselves while delivering powerful and precise attacks. This engraving is a testament to the refined and sophisticated nature of 18th-century fencing, offering a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of dueling and swordsmanship. The intricate details and meticulous execution of the engraving serve as a reminder of the rich history and enduring allure of this ancient martial art.
