"Buckled: A Journey Through Time and Stories" Step into the past as we explore the captivating moments that have been forever etched in history. From Blitz-ridden London to the elegance of evening full dress, each snapshot unveils a unique tale. In the chaos of war, tanks lay buckled and broken after a relentless Blitz attack on London. The scars left behind serve as a reminder of the resilience and strength displayed during World War II. Transporting us further back, we find ourselves amidst Thames Haven's bustling docks in 1807. Dressed in their finest attire, gentlemen don their buckled shoes while attending an enchanting evening affair. But let us not forget Jonas Hanway's revolutionary invention – the umbrella. In this peculiar scene from 1740, umbrellas open above heads like blooming flowers, shielding individuals from both raindrops and conversation alike. Fast forward to 1961 when Start-rite shoes took center stage with an advertisement showcasing their latest designs. Buckle up for style as these fashionable footwear options promise comfort and sophistication for every step you take. Silence fills the air in "No One Spoke" - a haunting depiction of societal tension captured through delicate brushstrokes in watercolor. This poignant artwork transports us to 1770 where unspoken words hang heavy between individuals caught within its frame. The upheaval of pavement and car tracks outside the Post Office paints a vivid picture of urban life undergoing constant change. As time moves forward relentlessly, so does progress – leaving behind traces of transformation imprinted upon our surroundings. In contrast to silence comes "Loquebantur Omnes, " where everyone is talking animatedly amidst vibrant pastels on paper canvas. This lively scene from 1740 captures snippets of conversations weaving together like an intricate tapestry - revealing glimpses into society's social fabric at that time. Inspectors gather around at Amsterdam's Collegium Medicum in 1724, their buckled shoes echoing authority as they oversee medical practices.
