EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two elegant gentleman fencers poised in the art of swordplay, as depicted in Thomas Rowlandson's illustration for Domenico Angelo's "The School of Fencing," published in London in 1787. The gentlemen, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, have assumed the positions for the outside-guard called Tierce and the thrust from the outside under the wrist, known as Second. The outside-guard, or Tierce, is a defensive position where the fencer holds the sword in front of the body, with the point angled outwards, providing a shield against an opponent's attack. The gentleman on the left has mastered this position, his eyes focused intently on his opponent, ready to counter an attack. The gentleman on the right, meanwhile, has executed a Second, a thrust aimed at the opponent's midsection, delivered from the outside of the opponent's guard. The thrust is executed with precision and power, requiring great skill and control. The print is a beautiful copperplate engraving, meticulously crafted after Rowlandson's original illustration. The intricate details of the gentlemen's clothing, the swords, and the background elements all contribute to the overall sense of elegance and refinement. Fencing, or ecole des armes, was a popular pastime among the aristocracy during the 18th and 19th centuries, and this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of dueling and swordplay during that time. The art of fencing required not only physical prowess but also mental acuity, strategy, and quick reflexes. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of this ancient art form.
