EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an intense moment in a fencing match between two gentleman fencers, as they carefully maneuver their swords and cloaks in the guard position. The image, a beautiful copperplate engraving, is an afterprint of an original illustration by Thomas Rowlandson from Domenico Angelo's "The School of Fencing," published in London in 1787. Angelo, an Italian master fencer, was renowned for his expertise in the art of swordplay, and his influential book provided instruction on the use of the epee and foil. In this print, we see the fencers in a tense standoff, their swords pointed towards each other, and their cloaks spread out to protect their bodies. One fencer holds a lantern, possibly to better illuminate the scene or to distract his opponent. The intricate details of the engraving show the fencers' focused expressions, the elegant curves of their swords, and the intricate folds of their cloaks. The contrast between the sharp edges of the swords and the soft fabric of the cloaks adds to the visual interest of the image. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the world of fencing in the late 18th century, showcasing the skill, precision, and style of the gentleman fencers of the time.
