EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Tragic Aftermath of a Fatal Duel in Hyde Park, London, 1712 (1768)". This haunting print captures the aftermath of a deadly duel that took place in Hyde Park, Westminster, London in 1712. The two central figures depicted here are Charles Mohun, the 4th Baron Mohun and James Douglas-Hamilton, the 4th Duke of Hamilton. Both men lost their lives due to wounds sustained during this fateful encounter. In this somber scene frozen in time by an anonymous artist from the 18th century, we witness the aftermath of violence and its devastating consequences. Charles Mohun lies lifeless on the ground while James Hamilton stands nearby with his tricorne hat still adorning his head. It was reported that Hamilton mortally wounded Mohun but was then killed by one of Mohun's seconds. The image showcases not only the tragic loss of these prominent figures but also provides a glimpse into fashion and attire prevalent during that era. The detailed engravings capture their clothing styles with precision. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of past conflicts and their ultimate toll on human lives. It offers us an opportunity to reflect upon the senselessness and brutality associated with dueling practices prevalent at that time.
