"Appalled: A Glimpse into the Dark Side of Humanity" In a world where even the holiest figures are tainted by cruelty, Pope Urban VI reciting his breviary to encourage torture leaves us questioning our faith in humanity. The litho depicting this shocking scene serves as a stark reminder that power can corrupt even those who claim to be divinely guided. On another page of history, an angel leads St. John the Evangelist towards the Harlot of Babylon, symbolizing the eternal struggle between good and evil. This captivating image from Ms L. A. 139-Lisboa fol. 59 reminds us that temptation lurks around every corner, testing our moral compass. The Noble Sans-Culotte etching published in 1794 by Hannah Humphrey transports us to revolutionary France, where poverty-stricken citizens fight for their rights amidst chaos and bloodshed, and is appalling how society's inequalities push ordinary people to extreme measures. GLUCK/ORPHEE takes center stage at Paris' grand opera house, but behind the elegance lies a tale of heartbreak and despair. Orpheus descends into Hades to rescue his beloved Eurydice, leaving audiences appalled at the tragic consequences of love and loss. An innocent eight-year-old girl screams in terror; her piercing cry echoes through our souls as we confront unimaginable horrors inflicted upon children worldwide. How can we not be appalled by such senseless suffering? H. M Bateman's illustration portrays an Etonian forced out of his comfort zone; his expression reflects both surprise and dismay at having to play against expectations. Appalling it may seem when societal norms confine individuals within rigid roles they must conform to. Amidst war-torn streets, protection against English gas-bombs becomes necessary for survival - colossal impudence indeed. The image highlights how human beings have stooped so low that self-preservation surpasses all ethical boundaries.
