The canvas reveals secrets too; behold "Portrait of a Kleptomaniac, " painted between 1820-24, capturing the torment within one's soul when consumed by uncontrollable urges. Travel across continents to Saint Louis, Missouri in 1910. Two Young Newsboys Smoking their troubles away - innocence lost amidst clouds of smoke. Three Young Newsboys join them; their youthful faces marred by premature addiction. Venture eastward towards China's opium dens from centuries past. Observe two men immersed in hazy fumes while surrendering themselves to temporary bliss - proof that addiction transcends borders and eras.
