Reflecting on the many faces of withdrawal throughout history: from German machine guns in WWI to Valdecoxib's departure from the market, moments of retreat shape our world. As we gather for a Thanksgiving service, let us remember Molière's 'The Miser, ' teaching us the perils of clinging too tightly. Just as General Sherman's troops crossed the Edisto River during their March to the Sea, sometimes withdrawal is necessary for progress. With images of British troops leaving India and Charles V entering a monastery at St. Yuste, we witness both political and personal withdrawals that redefine destinies. Lady Florentia Sale's retreat from Kabul reminds us of the harrowing Kabul Disaster in 1842, while 'On the Tiles' captures a carefree moment amidst life's challenges in 1921. From Tirah to Cabul, lithos depict significant military withdrawals that shaped nations and altered landscapes forever. Whether it be Dassault-Breguet HU-25B Guardian or historical events captured on canvas or engraving - withdrawal echoes through time as an inevitable part of human existence.
