EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Gentlemen Fencers in Carte and Flanconade Positions: A Duel of Swordplay Elegance" This copperplate engraving, created as an afterprint from Thomas Rowlandson's original illustration in Domenico Angelo's "The School of Fencing," published in London in 1787, showcases two elegantly dressed gentlemen engaged in a fencing duel. The scene depicts the inside Carte position and the outside Flanconade thrust, two essential techniques in 18th-century European swordplay. In the image, the first fencer, poised in the inside Carte position, holds his sword in a protective guard, his left foot slightly advanced, and his body slightly turned towards his opponent. His opponent, on the outside, prepares to deliver a Flanconade thrust. This technique involves a quick, powerful lunge to the outside flank, aiming to score a point by touching the opponent's body or clothing with the edge of the sword. The fencer's body is twisted, and his sword arm is extended, ready to strike. The intricate details of their attire, from their waistcoats and cravats to their breeches and buckled shoes, add to the refined and sophisticated atmosphere of the scene. The gentlemen's intense focus and determination convey the seriousness and importance of the duel, while the delicate engraving technique highlights the elegance and artistry of the fencing techniques on display. This print offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century European swordplay, showcasing the skill, grace, and intensity of the dueling gentlemen. The intricate copperplate engraving, inspired by Thomas Rowlandson's original illustration, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of fencing and the rich history of this ancient martial art.
