EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Cut Two & Right Protect, September 1,1798" captures a moment of intense swordsmanship and military skill. Created by Thomas Rowlandson in the 18th century, this hand-coloured aquatint showcases the artistry and precision of Hungarian highland broadsword fighting. In this vibrant image, we see a horseman clad in British army attire engaging in combat with his opponent. The rider's firm stance exudes confidence as he wields his Hungarian highland broadsword with expertise. Both men demonstrate their mastery of swordsmanship as they parry and strike with calculated moves. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident not only in the intricate depiction of the swords but also in capturing the energy and intensity of battle. The horses' powerful presence adds an additional layer to this scene, symbolizing strength and loyalty on the battlefield. This artwork serves as a testament to Britain's rich military heritage during the eighteenth century. It highlights both the physical prowess required for warfare and the importance placed on mastering various weapons for effective combat. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece invites viewers to appreciate not only its historical significance but also Rowlandson's artistic talent in bringing such dynamic scenes to life through etching and hand-tinting techniques. "Cut Two & Right Protect" is a captivating visual representation that reminds us of our ancestors' dedication to protecting their country through skillful sword fighting techniques.
