"Hearted: A Journey Through Engravings and Lithos" In the vast ocean of history, one cannot deny the impact of a hearted soul. Just like Cortes who sank ships with his determination, or Richard the Lion-hearted at the Battle of Ascalon in 1192, engraved forever in our memories. On board a Man-of-War, Paying-off Day was a celebration that showcased the elasticity and disinterested conduct of kind-hearted motorists towards sufferers from bad roads, and is these acts of compassion that restore faith in humanity. Dreams hold immense power too, as depicted by Jerome K Jerome's colorful litho. They transport us to realms where even lion-hearted kings shed tears for departed souls. And on Mother's Birthday, an engraving captures the tender love shared between mother and child - a testament to pure-hearted affection. Barclays Dictionary defines "broken hearted, " reminding us that even amidst pain and sorrow, there is strength within every shattered piece. The Outlandish Knight portrayed in chromolitho reminds us to be cautious when encountering those whose intentions may not be as warm-hearted as they seem. But amidst it all, there exists warmth disguised beneath unexpected facades. A merman seeking to lure a mermaid from her native element reveals himself as a warm-hearted old soul yearning for connection – an enchanting litho capturing both vulnerability and hope. Lastly, Spanish reinforcements arriving on board the Jota remind us that even during times of conflict or struggle, unity can prevail through brave hearts joining forces for greater causes. "Hearted" takes us on an artistic journey through engravings and lithos showcasing various facets of human nature - courageously sinking ships or shedding tears; displaying compassion towards others' suffering; celebrating love between mothers and children; mending broken hearts; cautioning against deceptive appearances; revealing hidden warmth beneath disguises; uniting for common goals despite adversity.
