Description:
” In a sudden disturbance, any dagger in ordinary wear would be snatched up, while was then a loose outer garment, could be instantly pulled off. In the illustration the two men are determined to settle their difference on the spot. The figure on the left is endeavouring to envelope his adversary in the folds of his cloak; if he succeeds in doing so, he will rapidly bring the right foot foward and, swinging, his dagger round, stab his antagonist in the back. This attack is parried by other man with his cloak folded over his arm; the dagger hand, meanwhile, kept ready to cut or stab as opportunity offers.”
From the original edition of The Graphic.
