"Slicing: From Family Meals to Ancient Battles, a Journey through Time and Cuisine" In the midst of a warm family meal, an unexpected guest makes their presence known - One of the Family, a horse joins in on the feast. Laughter fills the air as this unusual addition adds charm to the gathering. Traveling back in time to 1805, we witness The Plum Pudding in Danger. Through a beautifully colored engraving, we see how even delectable desserts can face perilous situations. It serves as a reminder that sometimes even our most cherished treats are not safe from harm. Fast forward to 1930 and discover an innovative device designed to teach golfers about their swing technique. A mirror-flashing mechanism indicates when one is pulling or slicing their shot. This invention showcases how technology has always played a role in improving our skills and performance. From Germany comes an awe-inspiring sight - the Kirchner Leipzig band saw. Its sheer size and power capture attention instantly, reminding us of mankind's ability to create remarkable machinery for various purposes. Delving into ancient Egyptian mythology, we encounter an intriguing papyrus depicting Ra's cat slaying Apophis, symbolizing triumph over evil forces. This captivating artwork reminds us that throughout history, humans have sought ways to conquer darkness with light. Switching gears towards culinary delights found in Italy's Piedmont region; black summer truffles delicately rest atop fresh cheese – a tantalizing combination that promises indulgence with every bite. These luxurious ingredients showcase Italy's rich gastronomic heritage. Moving on from cuisine but staying within historical context brings us Plate 33 of The Disasters of War series by Francisco Goya (1810-14). In this etching titled "What more can be done?", Goya questions humanity's capacity for cruelty during times of conflict – provoking introspection about our actions then and now.
