EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Gentleman Fencer in the Third Position of Extension: A Timeless Depiction of Swordsmanship from the 18th Century" This print showcases a gentleman fencer poised in the third position of extension or thrust, as depicted in the classic work "Fencing Familiarized, or a New Treatise on the Art of Sword Play" by John Olivier, published in London in 1771. The image, an exquisite copperplate engraving, was created by the skilled hands of engraver C. Grignion, based on an illustration drawn from life by J. Roberts. The gentleman fencer is elegantly dressed, his cravat neatly tied and his three-cornered hat resting atop his head. He holds an epee, the quintessential fencing sword of the time, with both hands, one hand gripping the hilt and the other supporting the blade. His body is positioned in the third position of extension, ready to deliver a powerful lunge and thrust. His left foot is slightly forward, his right foot planted firmly on the ground, and his weight is evenly distributed. His eyes are focused intently on an unseen opponent, the tension in his muscles palpable. The intricate details of the print reveal the dedication and precision required to master the art of fencing during the 18th century. The copperplate engraving process, a popular method for producing high-quality prints during this era, allowed for the finest details to be captured and preserved. This print serves as a testament to the beauty and grace of the fencing tradition, a tradition that continues to captivate and inspire us today. In conclusion, this print of a gentleman fencer in the third position of extension offers a glimpse into the world of 18th century fencing, a world of elegance, precision, and dedication. It is a reminder of the rich history of this ancient art and the enduring appeal of the sword.
