"Quitting: A Journey of Change and Resilience" In the intricate tapestry of history, moments have often marked significant turning points. From political upheavals to personal decisions, these engravings and lithographs capture various instances where individuals or groups chose to step away from familiar territories or circumstances. Each scene represents a unique narrative, showcasing the complexities and emotions associated with quitting. Charles I's departure from Westminster Hall symbolizes a pivotal moment in British history when power dynamics shifted dramatically. Similarly, as the Confederates quit Brownsville upon hearing of approaching Federal transports during The War in America, it signifies how strategic retreats can sometimes be necessary for survival. The Chinese on the Siberian Frontier depict an exodus driven by geopolitical tensions—a reminder that leaving one's homeland is not always voluntary but can be forced upon communities due to external pressures. Meanwhile, The Loss of the Lyonnais portrays a maritime disaster where passengers were compelled to abandon ship—an illustration as an act born out of necessity rather than choice. Amidst battlefields and conflicts, we witness a wounded cuirassier choosing to quit the field—a poignant reminder that even in dire situations, self-preservation takes precedence over glory. Equally compelling is The Last Days of Emperor Frederick III at San Remo; his resignation from power showcases humility and acceptance when faced with mortality. Not all departures are rooted in politics or war; some are deeply personal. Whether it's The Princess quitting her castle for St Georges Chapel or Queen Mary leaving Stirling Castle—these engravings evoke themes of transformation and new beginnings. Even within industrial landscapes like La Villette in Paris, strikes force sugar-refiners to quit their workplaces temporarily—a testament to collective action against injustice. Duchess Savoy's departure from Turin reflects how familial obligations can shape our choices while Mary Queen James II Quitting the Kingdom highlights sacrifices made for principles greater than oneself.
