In Praise of Dependants: From the majestic Emperor Penguin of the British Empire's Antarctic territories (DDE-90020283), to the newest addition at CHATEAU DE PIERREFONDS, a donkey born just in time for the holiday season - a most unusual Christmas gift. The British Empire's reach extended far and wide, providing for its subjects in various ways. As we reflect on the past, we remember Louis-Philippe, the last King of France, who once resided in Croydon. Meanwhile, a WWI poster announces new scales of separation allowances, acknowledging the sacrifices made by dependants during times of conflict. Art, too, sheds light on the human condition. The Severe Steward, or Unfortunate Tenant, an oil on canvas painting, highlights the struggles of those who depend on others for their livelihood. And let us not forget the complexities of addiction, as depicted in this conceptual image of Alcoholism. Through these diverse examples, we recognize the importance and complexity of the role of dependants in our histories and lives.
