EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Cut Two and Horses Off Side Protect, New Guard, September 1,1798" captures a moment of intense skill and precision in the world of swordsmanship. Created by Thomas Rowlandson in the 18th century, this hand-coloured aquatint showcases a Hungarian highland broadsword technique taught by Angelo Henry. In this vibrant image, we see a mounted horseman demonstrating his mastery of the art. Clad in British military attire, he wields his broadsword with finesse and confidence. The horsemen surrounding him watch attentively as they too strive to perfect their skills. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of color on this etching. The lush green countryside serves as a picturesque backdrop for these brave soldiers honing their craft. Their swords gleam under the sunlight, reflecting both power and elegance. This artwork not only highlights the importance of training and discipline within Britain's armed forces during that era but also pays homage to Hungary's rich heritage in sword fighting techniques. It stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of martial arts across different cultures. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history while admiring Rowlandson's artistic prowess. It serves as a reminder that warfare is not solely about brute force but also about strategy, skillful execution, and unwavering dedication to one's craft.
