Throughout history, authorization has granted individuals the power to act on behalf of others or exercise control over specific domains. From Henry VII's royal decree authorizing Dermod to levy forces in 1170, to the facsimile of a Power of Attorney from 1907, the concept of delegated authority remains a constant in our society. A semester, or military leave, granted sailors a temporary respite from their duties, allowing them to enjoy their prize money during the Napoleonic era as depicted in an 1834 lithograph. The Paters Bust of Homer, a black and white photograph, symbolizes the ancient Greek poet's wisdom and authority over the muses. George Jamesone's engraving illustrates the solemnity of the jurors' duty, as seen in this lithograph of a jurors' card. The Metropolitan Police Office's inspection sheet for a Common Lodging House in Deptford, London, ensured standards were upheld, demonstrating the importance of authorization in maintaining order. The sea, as depicted in this color lithograph, returns a ship after seven years, symbolizing the cyclical nature of authorization and the power it holds in bringing things full circle. Lastly, this second example of a Mongol Paiza, an illustration from The Travels of Marco Polo, highlights the far-reaching impact of authorization in various cultures and eras.
