In the midst of the 1910s, as World War I raged on in the United Kingdom, Lord Kitchener's iconic propaganda poster "Your Country Needs You" echoed through the streets. The call to arms was met with a mix of fear and patriotism as young men were recruited to join the fight. Meanwhile, across the pond, a remarkable magician named Harry Houdini captivated audiences with his death-defying escapology acts. Born Eric Weiss in 1874, Houdini became synonymous with thrilling stunts that seemed impossible to escape from. Amidst this backdrop of war and wonder, art continued to flourish. In 1876, French artist Edouard Manet painted "Portrait of Miss L. . Or A Door Must Be Either Open or Closed, " capturing an air of mystery and intrigue. Across the English Channel, James Abbott McNeill Whistler created his masterpiece "Annie" in 1858 – a testament to beauty and elegance. As we delve into Francisco Goya's haunting works from his series "The Disparates, " we witness Plate 2: Folly of Fear (ca. 1816-23). Published later in 1848 during turbulent times, it serves as a reminder that fear can cloud judgment even when faced with disaster. Plate 23: The Same Elsewhere from Goya's series "The Disasters of War" depicts scenes reminiscent of conflicts beyond borders – reminding us that suffering knows no boundaries. Plate 29 portrays despairing figures trapped within their own torment while Plate 22 reveals an even darker reality. Yet amidst these horrors lies hope; Plate 21 shows resilience against adversity while Hors de mon soleil captures Panurge emerging from Raminagrobis' lair - defying all odds just like our brave soldiers at war. Beyond human struggles lie wonders beneath ocean waves; Allen & Co.
