EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century image, titled 'Gentlemen Fencers en Garde for an Attack,' is a stunning copperplate engraving that offers a glimpse into the world of fencing during this elegant era. The print, created by D. Jenkins after an illustration drawn from life by J. Roberts, was published in John Bell's 'Fencing Familiarized, or a New Treatise on the Art of Sword Play' in London, 1771. The image showcases six gentleman fencers, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, assuming the en garde position, prepared for an attack. Each fencer holds a sword, be it an epee or foil, at the ready, their eyes focused intently on their opponents. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the precision and skill required in this elegant yet dangerous pastime. Fencing, a popular sport among the aristocracy during the 18th century, was considered an essential skill for gentlemen. The art of sword play was not only a means of self-defense but also a way to maintain social status and hone physical agility. This engraving not only serves as a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the time but also highlights the strategic and competitive nature of the sport. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds in the clothing to the subtle expressions on the faces of the fencers, offer a unique insight into the world of 18th century fencing. This image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, art, or the world of fencing.
