Duel of Mistresses: A Scandalous Tale of Rivalry and Passion in Hot-Blooded Austria, 1907 This evocative photograph, titled "Duel of Mistresses," captures the intense rivalry and passion between two young women, Fraulein Manna and Fraulein Reiter, over the affections of an army captain in Austria at the turn of the 20th century. The image, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to a time when such scandals were whispered about in hushed tones behind closed doors. The scene is set in the heart of Austria, where the customs of honor and tradition were deeply ingrained. However, the passions of these two young women, both in their late teens, were anything but traditional. The captain, a man of power and charm, found himself torn between the two, unable to resist their allure. Fed up with the situation, the two frauleins decided to settle their differences once and for all. In a bold and daring move, they arranged a duel. The photograph captures the moment of truth, as the two women, dressed in their finest attire, prepare to face each other with pistols in hand. The duel took place in a secluded clearing, away from prying eyes. The stakes were high, not only for the women's honor but also for their very lives. In the end, only one would emerge victorious, leaving the captain with only one bedfellow. This historical photograph is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, where passion and honor collided in a dangerous dance. It serves as a reminder of the lengths people would go to protect their hearts and their reputations, even if it meant risking everything in a duel of mistresses.
