A journey through time: King Victor Emmanuel III's era brings us to Grahamstown's Church Square, where Fitz-Ooftish unveiled his failed Patent Motor Gun invention. Meanwhile, in Monaco, two gentlemen enjoy the sunset on the Cannes seafront, oblivious to the political turmoil back in Italy. In London, William Pitt's "The Plumb Pudding in Danger" satirizes the extravagance of the British elite, while in b&w photos, a horse-drawn tram traverses the North Metropolitan streets, and a couple dances the Charleston in 1928. Amidst these moments, the world turns, and innovations come and go, leaving us to ponder the past and look forward to the future.
