EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a truly unique moment in history - the Duel between Saint-Beuve and Dubois of The Globe. The tension is palpable as the two men stand facing each other, pistols at the ready. However, what sets this duel apart is Saint-Beuve's insistence on retaining his umbrella. In a display of both defiance and practicality, he prepared to face death but not catch a cold.
The image speaks volumes about the customs and traditions surrounding duels during that time period. It offers a glimpse into the honor-bound world where disputes were settled with deadly weapons, yet personal quirks and preferences still held sway.
Mary Evans has expertly captured the drama and absurdity of this particular duel, highlighting Saint-Beuve's determination to stick to his principles even in the face of mortal danger. The composition and lighting add depth to the scene, drawing viewers in and inviting them to ponder the complexities of human behavior.
Overall, this print is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on an often romanticized practice. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of extreme conflict, there can be humor and individuality shining through.
