A Genuine View of the Parties in an Affair of Honor after the Fifth Shot at Hoboken
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment filled with tension, humor, and camaraderie. In this lithographic print from the 19th century, we witness a duel between two prominent figures: DeWitt Clinton and John Swartwout. The scene unfolds after the fifth shot has been fired on that fateful day in July 1802. As we examine the image closely, we see both men and their attendants engaged in conversation. Dialogue bubbles add an intriguing layer to this artwork as each participant shares their thoughts on the situation at hand. It is fascinating to observe how these individuals prepare themselves for such a grave competition while maintaining a touch of levity. The cartoon-like depiction adds an element of satire to this serious affair. Caricatures highlight certain features and personalities, emphasizing the absurdity inherent in dueling as a means to settle disputes. Yet beneath it all lies an undeniable sense of honor and tradition associated with such encounters. This engraving transports us back in time, offering us a glimpse into male combat rituals during that era. Guns are prominently displayed, symbolizing power and danger simultaneously. The location itself – Hoboken – lends an air of mystique to this historic event. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society, this print allows us to reflect upon past customs while appreciating its artistic value today. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and rivalry, there can be moments
