"Plead: A Tapestry of Desperation, Hope, and Justice" In the realm of human history, countless moments have witnessed the power of pleading - a universal language that transcends time and culture. From John Kay's "The Five ALLs" to Monmouth's Rebellion, from Melvyn Douglas and Marlene Dietrich in Ernst Lubitsch's Angel (1937) to Esther & Haman in the Bible, these diverse threads weave together a narrative of fervent supplication. One cannot overlook St. Teresa of Avila with her angelic embodiment of justice or the compelling AMERICAN WAR LOAN POSTER that implores citizens to contribute their support for a greater cause. Even Altho I'm on my knees dear, I'd rather be on yours dear (colour litho) captures an intimate plea between two souls entwined by love. Yet it is not only individuals who find themselves at this crossroads; entire nations bear witness to the consequences of pleading. The arrest of Alice Lisle for concealing fugitives from Sedgemoor serves as a stark reminder that even acts driven by compassion can lead one down treacherous paths. Meanwhile, Mrs Glass and her daughter imploring pirates for salvation depicts the desperation faced when lives hang in the balance. History further unfolds with Die G schamige (colour litho), showcasing vulnerability amidst societal norms, while Emperor Maximilian's arrest by Mexican Republicans reveals how power can crumble under relentless pleas for justice. Ultimately, it is Comes to the First Sister (1866 woodcut) that encapsulates both individual and collective pleas harmoniously intertwined. It speaks volumes about our shared humanity - our innate desire to seek understanding and resolution through heartfelt appeals. In each scene depicted throughout time's tapestry, we witness raw emotions laid bare - fear mingling with hope; despair intertwining with resilience. Pleading becomes an act not just confined to words, but a testament to the depths of our souls.
