EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a gentleman fencer executing the pass on his sword during a bout at the Ecole des Armes, or School of Fencing, in London, as illustrated by Thomas Rowlandson and engraved by an unknown artist in 1787. The gentleman wears an elegant coat and breeches, a white cravat, and a three-cornered hat, embodying the fashionable attire of the time. His opponent, out of the frame, is likely making a similar move in response. The pass is a crucial technique in the art of swordplay, used to protect the fencer's own sword and prepare for a counterattack. In this instance, the gentleman raises his sword high above his head, forming a guard with his left hand, while his right hand pushes the blade forward, creating a protective barrier known as a carte. The arm is extended over the top of the sword, shielding it from an opponent's thrust or parry. The intricate copperplate engraving captures the dynamic tension of the moment, with the fencer's muscular form and focused expression conveying the intensity and skill required for dueling or combat. The print is a testament to the elegance and finesse of the fencing tradition, which was popular among the aristocracy and gentry during the late 18th century. Thomas Rowlandson, a renowned English artist and satirist, created the original illustration for Mr. Domenico Angelo's The School of Fencing, a manual on the art of fencing that was widely circulated and influential in its time. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of historical fencing and the refined dueling culture of the past.
