From the delicate strokes in Fieldmouse (Bewick) to the bold brushstrokes in Christian Charity, each artwork tells a unique story. The British Commercial Gas Association Advert reminds us that adoption extends beyond individuals; it can also be seen in societal progress. Similarly, the Four-fold double-sided screen transports us back to a time when adopting new ideas was essential for growth. As we delve into Mercury entrusting the infant Bacchus to the Nymphs of Nysa, we are reminded that adoption is not limited to humans alone. It symbolizes nurturing and protection across all species. Even political figures like Mr Gladstone showcased their attitudes towards change when addressing the House. This engraving serves as a reminder that adopting new perspectives is crucial for effective leadership. Moving forward, A Day on Ripley Road captures moments where communities come together, embracing unity and acceptance. The United States Air Force - Boeing RB-50F Superfortress 47-159 highlights how nations adopt advanced technologies for defense purposes. Orphans canvassing in the 1840s depicts an inspiring example of self-reliance and resilience amidst adversity.
