EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration is taken from "Anfangsgründe der Fechtkunst" or "Foundations of Fencing" by Anton Friedrich Kahn, published in Leipzig, Germany, in 1761. The image, an anonymous creation, is a copper engraving that showcases the corpsstudent duel, a traditional fencing practice among German students during the 18th century. The scene depicts two young men, both dressed in the uniform of the Senioren Convent, a student corporation, engaged in a mensur, or measured duel. The duelists stand facing each other, their weapons at the ready. One student wears a red sash, while the other dons a blue one, indicating their respective affiliations within the corporation. The duel is being overseen by a third party, likely a senior student or a professor, who holds a white flag, symbolizing neutrality and fairness. The intricately detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the world of 18th-century fencing and student life in Germany. The corpsstudent duel was a rite of passage, a test of skill and honor, and an essential part of the student experience. The image captures the intensity and seriousness of the moment, as well as the sense of tradition and camaraderie that surrounded these duels. The "Anfangsgründe der Fechtkunst" was a popular and influential fencing manual of its time, and this illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of the art of fencing and the rich history of student culture in Germany during the 18th century.
