The International Advertising Exhibition at White City, London showcased larger-than-life billboards transformed into living figures, capturing the essence of early 1920s hoardings. As you walk through this mile-long spectacle in the West End, marvel at the creativity and innovation that goes into promoting products and ideas. But enlargement doesn't stop there; it extends beyond advertising. Witness the territorial growth of the United States depicted in vibrant color lithographs, showcasing how a nation expands its borders over time. Delve deeper into communication technology as you discover a projector capable of magnifying microscopic telegraph messages – an incredible feat achieved through lithography. Intriguingly, even everyday objects can undergo enlargement's transformative power. Behold a woman and her three children immortalized in a comic postcard captured by photographers from the 20th century. This whimsical portrayal reminds us that sometimes it's life's simplest moments that deserve to be enlarged for eternity. Nature itself is not immune to enlargement either. Feast your eyes upon an enchanting chromolithograph depicting an enlarged message carried by a pigeon – nature's own messenger spreading words far and wide. Moving away from photographs and illustrations, witness architectural transformations brought about by enlargement. Marvel at St Petersburg's Imperial Public Library as it undergoes expansion before your eyes in black-and-white photography. Gaze upon Kew Church's grandeur captured through intricate engravings – proof that human hands can create beauty on both small and large scales. It also encompasses medical advancements like goitre treatment shown in detailed engravings, reminding us of our ability to overcome physical challenges through scientific progress. Finally, let us not forget Lord Palmerston laying the foundation stone for Sailors Home's expansion in Well-Street within London Docks.
