Amidst the serene atmosphere of Wimbledon's Volunteers, hidden beneath the surface lies the power of triggers. A century ago, Mr. Walter Winans' Vanity Fair cartoon depicted the concept through needle guns, while in Bacton, Suffolk, 22 air rifle pellets and a weapon stood ready. Triggers, a symbol of resistance and revolution, have been etched in history through engravings and color lithographs. From the 1st barricade to the coup, the power to ignite change remains a constant force.
