In one scene, we witness Earl Percy bidding farewell to life as he solemnly holds the hand of a fallen comrade. The National Artillery Meeting at Shoeburyness showcases the precision and teamwork of the Canadian team as they skillfully dismount from their cannons in an intricately engraved piece. Travel back further in time to ancient Greece, where horsemanship was celebrated through vibrant colored engravings depicting awe-inspiring displays of equestrian skills. Volunteering takes center stage next with the Bahar Mounted Rifles of Bengal depicted in another detailed engraving from India. The Great Eastern ship offers a glimpse into maritime history as passengers are seen dismounting from bunk beds onto its vast decks. Ando Hiroshige's Totsuka painting transports us to 19th-century Japan, capturing everyday life with people elegantly stepping off carriages or horses along Main Street. Morocco beckons us with an enchanting image showcasing the end of a donkey ride – an experience that requires careful dismounting after enjoying scenic adventures. Meanwhile, Eduard Fuchs' illustration humorously portrays the inconvenience faced by a lady whose dress gets entangled while she gracefully alights her carriage. Lastly, Prince Emir Saud's visit to Emir Abdullah Amman Transjordan symbolizes diplomatic connections being forged as leaders respectfully disembark from their vehicles.
