"1884: A Year of Triumphs, Struggles, and Exploration" In 1884, the world witnessed remarkable feats and significant moments that shaped history. Colonel Norton dared to conquer new heights as he stood at an astonishing 28, 000 feet on Everest in 1924, defying human limits and pushing boundaries. Meanwhile, Georges Seurat's masterpiece "Sunday Afternoon on la Grande Jatte" captivated art enthusiasts with its meticulous pointillist technique in oil on canvas. The painting transported viewers to a serene moment frozen in time amidst the bustling cityscape of 1884. The adrenaline-fueled start of the Cresta Run in St. Moritz took place in 1912, where thrill-seekers embarked on an exhilarating journey down icy slopes. This daring pursuit embodied the spirit of adventure that defined this era. Scientific breakthroughs were also prominent during this period; Gregor Mendel laid the foundation for modern genetics through his groundbreaking experiments with pea plants. His discoveries revolutionized our understanding of heredity and paved the way for future advancements. The Orient Express train traversing rural landscapes symbolized both luxury and intrigue as it whisked passengers away to exotic destinations. Its elegant carriages carried dreams and aspirations across borders while connecting cultures along its historic route. Mount Kilimanjaro's majestic presence loomed large over Africa as it reached its highest peak known as Kibo – a testament to nature's grandeur captured through a wood engraving from 1884. This awe-inspiring image showcased Africa's untamed beauty. Amidst societal changes, Reverend Stewart Headlam used cartoons to challenge conventional norms while advocating for social justice during this transformative year. His satirical illustrations sparked conversations about important issues facing society at large. Women fighting for their rights found themselves resorting to extreme measures such as hunger strikes; their bravery was commemorated by Suffragette Hunger Strike Medals from the Women's Social and Political Union (W. S. P. U).
