"Rejected: A Journey Through History's Unaccepted Ideas" Step into the world inventions, where creativity meets disappointment. From the infamous Inventions Board IX to William Hogarth's satirical illustrations, witness the ideas that didn't quite make the cut. In a time when innovation was both celebrated and scrutinized, even geniuses like Heath Robinson faced rejection by the Inventions Board. Explore his armoured bayonet curler and marvel at its absurdity – a testament to imagination unrestrained. But rejection knows no bounds, as John Singleton Copley's poignant painting depicts. "The death of Major Peirsons" captures a moment in history when valor met tragedy on French soil. A reminder that not all battles end in victory. Venturing further into rejection's realm, we encounter an organ grinder silenced in 1858. Street music stifled by societal disapproval; a haunting echo of lost melodies and unappreciated talents. Yet it wasn't just art or music that faced rejection; women fighting for their right to vote were turned away at New York polling stations in 1871. Their determination paved the way for progress but also highlighted society's resistance to change. Amidst these historical narratives lies a young man captured mid-movement – his white shirt and blue jeans symbolizing youthfulness and rebellion against conformity. Rejection can be empowering; it fuels resilience and propels us forward towards new horizons. As we approach La Porte Close, we confront another creation dismissed by the Inventions Board during WW1 – Heath Robinson strikes again with his whimsical contraptions designed for war but deemed impractical amidst chaos. And finally, "If I catch you, " a vivid lithograph capturing playful mischief while reminding us that even moments of lightheartedness can be overlooked or disregarded if they don't fit societal norms. Through rejected ideas scattered across time, this journey reveals the delicate dance between innovation and rejection.
