"1859-1935: A Journey Through Time and Artistic Expressions" Step into the captivating world of 1859-1935, where history intertwines with art to create a mesmerizing tapestry of human experiences. This period witnessed remarkable events and influential figures that left an indelible mark on society. One such figure was Admiral John Jellicoe (1859-1935), who commanded the British Grand Fleet during the pivotal Battle of Jutland. His strategic brilliance and unwavering leadership shaped naval warfare forever. In contrast to the intensity of war, Childe Hassam's "Sweeping Snow" transports us to a serene winter landscape in the 1890s. The artist's brushstrokes delicately capture the tranquility and beauty found amidst nature's icy embrace. The fight for truth and justice takes center stage through various mediums. A postcard depicting Noble Zola, Warrior for Truth and Justice, showcases a colorful lithograph adorned with pen & ink annotations - a powerful visual representation of courage against injustice. "The Story of a Traitor, " an anti-Dreyfusard cartoon accompanied by a song sheet, reveals societal divisions surrounding Alfred Dreyfus' wrongful conviction. The colored engraving serves as both commentary and reminder of this controversial chapter in history. A poster titled "Dreyfus est un traitre" presents portraits of those who opposed Dreyfus, showcasing their role in perpetuating his persecution. This lithograph captures not only their faces but also echoes the black-and-white dichotomy that defined this era. Delving deeper into this tumultuous time is "The Dreyfus Affair Game, " which brings together key individuals involved in this historic scandal. Each portrait represents different perspectives, highlighting how personal beliefs can shape destinies. Satirical caricatures offer glimpses into everyday life during these turbulent times.
