Dummies: From Fashion to History, they're everywhere you look. In a dressmaker's workshop, dummies stand tall and proud, showcasing the latest creations with elegance and grace. Madame Tussauds waxwork museum takes it a step further, immortalizing iconic figures in lifelike sculptures that leave visitors in awe. But dummies aren't limited to fashion or museums alone. Window dressers use them as their artistic canvas, transforming storefronts into captivating displays that lure passersby. Even our furry friends get in on the fun, like the mischievous dog with a dummy playfully clenched between its teeth or the adorable Labrador who finds comfort carrying one around. Not all they can made of fabric and wax; some take flight too. The Gloster Meteor 7 and a halfs WL419 soar through the skies with precision and power, piloted by skilled aviators who rely on these mannequin-like devices for training purposes. Venturing into Chinatown, Singapore reveals an unexpected sight - a truck loaded with nude dummies. Perhaps an unconventional way of transporting art pieces or simply adding an element of surprise to this vibrant neighborhood? Fashion dummies seem captivated by their surroundings as they gaze upon Milan's magnificent Duomo cathedral reflected in shop windows. It's as if even these silent figures appreciate architectural beauty. Traveling back in time brings us to Westminster Abbey circa 1880 where lithographs depict wax figures standing solemnly amongst historical artifacts. A testament to how long we've been fascinated by these human-like replicas. And let's not forget about babies. Colorful lithographs showcase collections of baby essentials alongside cute little dolls - perfect companions for any child embarking on imaginative adventures. Lastly, we can't overlook Guy Fawkes - infamous for his failed plot but forever remembered through effigies burned each year during Bonfire Night celebrations across England.
