EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of 18th century gentleman fencing as depicted in Thomas Rowlandson's engraving, "Gentleman Fencer Running Through an Opponent." The print, which is an aftercopy of an illustration from Domenico Angelo's renowned fencing manual, "The School of Fencing, or The Ecole des Armes," published in London in 1787, showcases the intricate footwork and strategic maneuvers characteristic of the art of swordplay during this era. The gentleman fencer, clad in elegant attire, expertly executes an evasion, a subtle yet effective subterfuge used to deceive an opponent's attack. As his adversary makes a pass on the outside of his sword, the fencer swiftly moves his left leg back, creating an opening for a counter-thrust. With perfect timing and precision, he lunges forward, delivering a powerful stab to his opponent. The copperplate engraving, masterfully crafted by an unknown engraver, captures the dynamic interplay of motion and balance, as well as the intense focus and determination etched on the faces of the combatants. The intricate details of their swords and the ornate decorations on their uniforms further emphasize the refined and sophisticated nature of this form of dueling. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th century fencing, showcasing the elegance, skill, and strategy that defined this ancient martial art. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the dueling tradition, which continues to captivate and inspire fencing enthusiasts to this day.
