"1917: A Year of Revolution, Visionaries, and War" In the midst of a world engulfed in chaos and conflict, 1917 emerged as a pivotal year that shaped history. From the rise of Felix Dzerzhinsky to the awe-inspiring visions of the three Fatima visionaries, this year was marked by extraordinary events. As Trotsky slayed the counter-revolutionary dragon in his powerful poster from 1918, it symbolized the relentless fight for change during these turbulent times. Meanwhile, Childe Hassam's captivating painting "Avenue in the Rain" captured both beauty and resilience amidst uncertainty. The horrors of World War I were brought to life through Hs Power's poignant artwork depicting artillery and horses at Ypres. Amidst this devastation stood Captain Noel Godfrey Chavasse, VC - an epitome of bravery and sacrifice. Bruce Bairnsfather's works such as "Things That Matter" and "A Miner Success" provided much-needed humor during these dark days. His WW1 cartoons offered solace amidst despair, reminding us that laughter can be found even in dire circumstances. Matania's depiction of an Advanced Dressing Station on the Western Front showcased not only the physical toll but also highlighted humanity's unwavering compassion towards one another. Similarly inspiring was a women's war workers football match held in London - proof that gender boundaries were being challenged even amidst strife. In Reigate-1917, we catch a glimpse into everyday life where people sought solace amid turmoil. And while soldiers fought bravely on distant battlefields, Fortnum & Masons' Christmas Box served as a reminder that love and support transcended borders. Thus, 1917 stands as a testament to human resilience against all odds – where revolutionaries rose to power; visionaries saw beyond what others could comprehend; art immortalized moments both beautiful and tragic; heroes emerged from darkness; humor prevailed.
