EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a gentleman fencer in the second position of the Disarm on the Carte or Second Thrust, following the Prime Parade parry. The image is a beautiful copperplate engraving, created after an original illustration by Thomas Rowlandson, as featured in Domenico Angelo's renowned fencing manual, "The School of Fencing, or The Ecole des Armes," published in London in 1787. The gentleman fencer is shown poised and ready, his eyes focused intently on his opponent. With his left foot forward and his weight evenly distributed, he holds his sword in the second position, the blade angled slightly downward. His right hand, holding the hilt, is extended, ready to execute the disarming move. The prime parry, a defensive maneuver, has been successfully executed, leaving the opponent's sword suspended in the air above the fencer's head. The intricate details of the engraving show the fencer's elegant attire, complete with a cravat, knee-length breeches, and a three-cornered hat. The background is adorned with ornate decorations, adding to the overall refinement of the image. This print is a testament to the artistry and skill of both Thomas Rowlandson and Domenico Angelo, who were pioneers in the field of fencing instruction during the late 18th century. The Disarm on the Carte or Second Thrust is a complex fencing technique that requires precision, timing, and a deep understanding of swordplay. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of gentlemanly dueling and the intricacies of the sport, providing a captivating visual representation of the art of fencing during the era of the Enlightenment.
