Pistols at dawn: Mr. John Barnard and Dr. Michael Carson faced each other in the crisp
Pistols at dawn: Mr. John Barnard and Dr. Michael Carson faced each other in the crisp Hertfordshire dawn on Sunday 5th October, ten paces apart and each armed with an antique duelling pistol. Honour was satisfied when Dr. Carson, 53, of Wimpole Street, was seen to be hit and blood welled up from beneath his strangely unmarked shirt for the second time when another volley of shots rang out. Dr. Carson..... besmirched a ladys name. October 1980 P004975

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Pistols at Dawn" we are transported back to a moment of intense conflict and honor. The scene unfolds in the serene Hertfordshire dawn on Sunday, October 5th, 1980. Mr. John Barnard and Dr. Michael Carson stand ten paces apart, their antique duelling pistols aimed with unwavering determination. The air is crisp as tension fills the atmosphere; both men prepared to defend their honor through this age-old tradition of settling disputes. Driven by an alleged besmirching of a lady's name, these gentlemen have chosen to face each other in a duel that will determine who emerges victorious. As shots ring out across the field, capturing hearts and minds alike, it becomes evident that blood has been drawn from beneath Dr. Carson's strangely unmarked shirt for the second time during this fateful encounter. The gravity of the situation hangs heavy upon them both as they continue exchanging fire. This photograph freezes a fleeting moment in time when conflicts were resolved through personal courage rather than legal proceedings or social media battles. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' commitment to preserving their dignity and reputation at any cost. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we are granted access to history's most gripping moments - moments like these where individuals stood firm against adversity with pistols raised high under top hats shadowing determined faces ready for whatever fate may bring.
