"Piggy back: A Journey Through Time and Space" In this captivating collection of images, we embark on a journey that transcends boundaries and defies gravity. Ethel Parkinson takes us on an adventure filled with unexpected pairings and remarkable sights. We begin our expedition with the awe-inspiring Antonov An-225 Mriya SSSR-82060 aircraft, proudly carrying the Buran space shuttle. The sheer magnitude of this spectacle leaves us in awe, reminding us of humanity's relentless pursuit of exploration. Next, we encounter the Sud-Est Se-161 Languedoc 96 Mothership gracefully transporting a mysterious Leduc ? Could it be another groundbreaking invention awaiting its moment to shine? As we continue our voyage through time, Singer Vince Hill serenades TV presenter Anne while playfully enjoying the beach at Brighton. Their carefree spirits remind us to cherish life's simple pleasures. The historical significance unfolds as we witness Blood on Thunder fording the Red Sea in a hand-colored etching from 1788. This powerful image transports us back to an era where art captured both beauty and political commentary. Dr. David Livingstone's expedition through Africa in 1872 comes alive before our eyes as he is carried by porters through treacherous swamps. Charles Laplante's engraving immortalizes this courageous explorer who ventured into unknown territories for knowledge and discovery. A tender moment between a Havasupai Indian squaw and her papoose reminds us of the universal bond between motherhood and love across cultures throughout history. "The Rejected Minister" satirically comments on power dynamics as it humorously suggests that one must climb certain ladders before achieving presidency – a timeless reflection on ambition within politics. A child perched upon a man's shoulders collecting mistletoe brings forth feelings of joy during festive times, symbolizing unity among generations and shared traditions passed down over years.
