"Unleashing the Terror: From Saint Francis to Politics. " In a world filled with chaos and upheaval, the concept of terror has taken on various forms throughout history. Just like Saint Francis tamed the ferocious Wolf of Gubbio, mankind has grappled with its own beasts in different realms. Politics, often seen as a battleground for power and influence, can be a breeding ground for terror. CRUIKSHANK's cartoon titled "A Plundering Soldiers" depicts the ruthless nature of political warfare, where individuals are willing to sacrifice morality for personal gain. Similarly, "A visit by the Ku Klux Klan" lithograph reveals how racial hatred can manifest into acts of terror that haunt communities. Beyond politics lies marauding armies and conquerors who spread fear wherever they go. Russian Cossacks ravaging through a Korean village showcases how war becomes synonymous with terrorizing innocent lives. Even in times of peace, monsters lurk among us - as depicted in Hannah Humphrey's 1790 publication "The Monster going to take his Afternoons Luncheon, " reminding us that evil knows no bounds. But not all forms of terror stem from human hands alone; folklore tales warn us about supernatural beings lurking in darkness. A troll's night of fun scaring passers-by serves as an eerie reminder that even mythical creatures have their moments of mischief. Yet amidst these tales of horror and dread, there are instances when unexpected heroes emerge to confront their fears head-on. Tom and Bob catching Charley napping exemplify how bravery can triumph over intimidation while The Little Red Man from Beranger's works reminds us that courage comes in all shapes and sizes. Even festive occasions aren't immune to terrifying encounters. Father Christmas apparitions on Christmas cards add an element of surprise – sometimes joyous but occasionally unsettling – reminding us that even beloved figures can evoke mixed emotions.
