Amidst the excitement of the FA Cup Final at Wembley in 1936, the ominous shadow of the Graf Zeppelin cast an unexpected disconcerting presence. Elsewhere, a young woman of Herting pondered the enigma of Buddha's long dead feet in an old engraving. In Normandy, the thrill of stag hunting was captured in a vibrant color litho, while the magic of youthfulness was immortalized in a painting. The ancient temple ruins of Selangor, Malaysia, whispered tales of the past, while the head of a demon, sketched in 1890 on carboard, hinted at the darkness lurking within. The long and the short of it, the world was a complex tapestry of contrasts, as evidenced by the elegant motoring scene in the Bois de Boulogne in 1900, where visitors embraced the vis-a-vis style in stark contrast to the demonic image.
