"Nationalistic: A Glimpse into the Pride and Patriotism of Different Nations" Step back in time to 1935 with the Illustrated London News Silver Jubilee Number, where nationalistic fervor was at its peak. From patriotic posters urging citizens to "Buy British - Britain Always First, " to mesmerizing music covers featuring a Scottish harpist, this collection captures the essence of national pride. In a powerful black and white photograph from 1915, we witness women diligently making bullets during wartime, showcasing their unwavering dedication to their country. Meanwhile, an eagle proudly soars alongside the American flag in another image from that same year, symbolizing unity and strength. The artistry of Viktor Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov takes us on a journey through Russian nationalism with his masterpiece "Nina Slobodka Berendeevka. " The vibrant colors depict a scene filled with cultural significance and evoke feelings of patriotism. However, not all depictions are as uplifting. In a striking lithograph from 1891, we see punishments awaiting converts to Christianity—a Christian pig being sawn in half while another is crushed in a mortar—highlighting religious tensions within nations. Moving across continents, we delve into the grandeur of the British Empire circa 1900. A watercolor painting showcases its vastness and diversity—an empire built on nationalistic ideals but also fraught with complexities. Wonderful England comes alive through colorful lithographs depicting various aspects of English life. Horse racing enthusiasts cheer as horses gallop towards victory; Sea Lords taste jam for the fleet ensuring quality provisions for sailors; and horses purchased abroad add prestige to England's equestrian heritage. Lastly, an enchanting poster advertising the World Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893 transports us back to an era when countries showcased their achievements on international platforms—national pride shining brightly amidst global camaraderie.
