EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century copperplate engraving, titled 'Gentlemen fencers lunging (coup de quarte dans les armes) and parrying (parade de quarte)', offers a glimpse into the world of fencing as it was practiced during this elegant era. The image, created by D. Jenkins after an illustration from life by J. Roberts, was published in John Bell's influential book, 'Mr. J. Olivier's Fencing Familiarized, or a New Treatise on the Art of Sword Play', published in London in 1771. The engraving depicts two gentleman fencers engaged in an intense duel, their eyes focused intently on each other as they execute precise and calculated moves. The fencer on the left lunges forward with his epee, aiming for a coup de quarte, a thrust aimed at the opponent's fourth quadrant or right side. The fencer on the right parries the attack with a parade de quarte, a defensive maneuver that deflects the opponent's blade with a circular motion. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the finesse and skill required to wield a sword in this manner. The fencers are dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, with breeches, waistcoats, and cravats, adding an air of sophistication and elegance to the scene. The background is simple, with no distractions, allowing the viewer to fully focus on the dynamic interplay between the two fencers. This engraving is a testament to the art of fencing during the 18th century, a time when the sport was popular among the aristocracy and was considered an essential skill for gentlemen to master. The image not only captures the physical prowess and agility of the fencers but also the strategic and mental acuity required to outmaneuver an opponent. With its intricate details and historical significance, this engraving remains a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of 18th century fencing and the gentlemen who practiced it.
