"Stragglers: A Glimpse into the Unseen Narratives of History" In the vast Welsh sheep farming landscape, a timeless scene unfolds. The rear of the column in 1876, captured through an etching, reveals stragglers - those left behind or lagging behind their companions. Their presence tells stories untold, whispers of resilience and determination amidst the rolling hills. Stonehenge stands stoic as engraved images depict another gathering of stragglers. What secrets do they hold? Were they lost souls seeking solace within ancient stones or wanderers enticed by mystical energies? The engravings leave us pondering their purpose and connection to this sacred site. A litho transports us to a different time and place - outside the Landrosts Court-House during Jameson's Force arrival. Straggling figures emerge from afar, perhaps weary from battle or driven by a cause greater than themselves. Their journey symbolizes both triumphs and tribulations that shape history's course. Once again at Stonehenge, we witness yet another engraving capturing stragglers in motion. This time volunteering in Ceylon for a sham fight at Kalutara. These brave souls willingly stray from conformity to test their mettle against imaginary foes – showcasing courage beyond measure. The echoes of war resonate through an engraving titled "After the Charge, Ulundi, " recounting an episode from the Zulu War. Amidst chaos and destruction, we find scattered warriors who fought valiantly but now stand alone on blood-soaked grounds – reminders of sacrifice made for causes deemed righteous. Lithographs transport us further eastward to Japan where customs unfold before our eyes with meticulous detail. Amongst these traditions lies glimpses of stragglers; individuals navigating societal norms while retaining individuality – reminding us that even within structured systems lie those who forge unique paths. From East to West, we find ourselves in London's Chinatown during Chinese New Year.
