M. Bateman's iconic illustration captures the exhilaration as "The Favourite Wins" and spectators erupt in cheers. Suffragette Pankhurst stands tall at Manchester Docks, fighting for women's rights amidst a sea of supporters. Even Fidel Castro takes a break from politics to enjoy America's favorite pastime, baseball, standing proudly on the field. Harry Woolley's painting "Hares and Graces" portrays elegant ladies in their finest attire standing gracefully at a social event. Queen Victoria and Abdul Karim share an unlikely friendship that defies societal norms, captured in this photograph from c. 1890 where they stand side by side. The milkman delivering fresh milk each morning reminds us of simpler times when he would stand patiently outside our doors with his trusty cart. In Reykjavik, Iceland, even art stands out as the midnight sun illuminates a giant steel boat sculpture on the water's edge - truly breathtaking. Step inside Talking Mongoose House and discover an intriguing tale about a mysterious creature who stood upright like a human and spoke. Red Cross Dog Waiting faithfully by its owner’s side demonstrates loyalty that knows no bounds – reminding us what it means to stand by someone through thick and thin. Mobile Chimney Sweep moves swiftly from house to house ensuring clean chimneys while leaving behind trails of sooty footprints wherever he stands.

In various forms - be it physical or metaphorical - they have played significant roles in history, art, sports, and everyday life.
