"Fortifying: A Glimpse into the Past" Step back in time to the 1920s, where fortification took on various forms. In this captivating poster, Ovignac Senglet Fortifiant stands proudly as a cognac drink fortified with eggs, unrivaled in its potency. Its origins date back to an era when strength and vitality were highly sought after. The Horse-Guards engraving reveals another facet of fortification - the War Game played by Volunteer Officers. Strategizing and planning became paramount during times of conflict, as depicted in this intriguing artwork. Transporting us further into history is an advertising piece from 1889 promoting "Wine tonic Mariani a la coca du perou. " This elixir boasted restorative properties derived from Peruvian coca leaves. The color litho captures the allure of this popular French tonic wine. Consolidation takes center stage in both art and reality. As positions are fortified, we witness a Frisian horse gracefully adorning a walkway, symbolizing strength and resilience amidst changing landscapes. In "Building the Town, " an oil on canvas masterpiece from 1902, we glimpse how communities fortified themselves against adversity through unity and collective effort. Returning to Mariani Wine's advertisement reinforces its status as a beloved French tonic wine that provided much-needed fortification during challenging times. Marco Gregorio's painting "Walk to Capri" transports us to Florence in 1867. Amidst breathtaking scenery, one can't help but feel rejuvenated by nature's beauty - yet another form of fortification for weary souls seeking solace. War preparations loom large throughout history; lithographs depict soldiers readying themselves for battle while Afghanistan showcases elephants demolishing outbuildings to strengthen their position - truly awe-inspiring feats of fortitude. Even health was not exempt from needing reinforcement; advertisements for Pink Pills promised miracles for pale and weakened individuals, offering a fortifying solution to their ailments.
