"Tricorn: A Journey Through Time and Artistic Perspectives" Step into a world where art meets satire, as depicted in Hogarth's steel engraving from 1860. The tricorn takes center stage, symbolizing the absurdities that arise when design lacks knowledge of perspective. Travel further back in time to witness Frederick the Great of Prussia donning his vintage tricorn. This painting captures the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era. In 1818 Paris, amidst the lush gardens of Luxembourg, an exciting scene unfolds with velocipedes racing past. Amongst the riders, tricorns bob up and down as they speed through history. Switching gears to fencing, a copper engraving from mid-18th century France showcases a precise thrust executed by skilled fencers wearing their distinctive tricorns, and is an art form that demands both grace and precision. The Bank of England stands tall as dividends are distributed to those who have invested wisely. Tricorns dotting the crowd signify prosperity and success in this financial hub. A poignant image emerges - "A boy away from home" painted by Florence Hardy. Amidst unfamiliar surroundings, he clings onto his tricorn hat for comfort and familiarity during his journey towards self-discovery. George Washington himself surveys Lord Fairfax's land in an American wood engraving from 1881. His iconic presence is accentuated by his trusty tricorn hat - a symbol of leadership and determination. French soldiers march proudly across history dressed in their distinct uniforms adorned with tricorns during the tumultuous 1790s. Each step represents valor intertwined with tradition. Witness the triumphal entrance of a Peck loaf into Grandchester circa 1787 – an event shrouded in mystery but immortalized through unknown hands' creation. Tricorns peppered throughout hint at celebrations steeped in tradition. Martha and George Washington come alive on paper through a watercolor and ink masterpiece from the late 18th century.
