EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Duel Between The Duke of Hamilton and Lord Mohun. Dating back to around 1870, this image showcases Lieutenant General James Hamilton, a Scottish nobleman who tragically lost his life on November 15,1712, during a duel in Hyde Park, Westminster. The dispute that led to this fatal encounter was centered around an inheritance disagreement between Hamilton and Charles Mohun. Set against the backdrop of a serene park with lush woodlands in London, England, this photograph transports us back to the 17th century. Four individuals are depicted here; two men engaged in combat while surrounded by majestic deer roaming freely nearby. This scene evokes notions of honor, bravery, and the harsh realities of war. Lieutenant General James Hamilton's untimely demise serves as a reminder of the consequences that can arise from disputes over power and wealth. His story is immortalized through this monochrome print which offers us a glimpse into British history during the nineteenth century. The significance of Hyde Park as the location for such duels adds another layer to this narrative. As one of London's royal parks situated within the City of Westminster, it has witnessed numerous historical events throughout its existence. Preserved by The Print Collector29 and featured in Jacob Larwood's book "The Story of London Parks" published by Chatto and Windus circa 1870s, this print allows us to delve into an era long gone but not forgotten.
