"Wheatly: A Journey Through Time and Talent" Step aboard the HMS Implacable, 1920, as we embark on a captivating voyage into the world of Wheatly. PBLA2D-00010 captures the essence of this enigmatic figure, whose story unfolds like a Seaside Bungalow in Carbis Bay. In Comedy of Errors Act 4 Scene 4, Antipholis of Ephesus and Dromio find themselves entangled with Courtezan & c in an intriguing tale from 1798. Artist James Stow beautifully brings this scene to life, leaving us mesmerized by Wheatly's ability to captivate audiences across centuries. But beyond the stage lies another facet of Wheatly's legacy. The Daughters Departure painting from the 18th century transports us back to 1921 when their influence was at its peak. Their impact reached far beyond art; it extended to social change and empowerment. "Do you want any matches?" asks Antoine Cardon's artwork from 1794 (1910), reminding us that even amidst adversity, Wheatly possessed resilience and resourcefulness that ignited a spark within others. Phillis Wheatley herself emerges as a beacon of inspiration. Born in West Africa and sold into slavery before she turned ten, her journey led her to Boston where she was taught to read and write by the Wheatley family. By 1773, she defied all odds by publishing a book of poetry – becoming the first African-American author ever published. As we turn each page from The Architect s Surveyors and Engineers Compendium (1892), engraved with meticulous detail, we uncover more layers of Wheatly's brilliance. These pages serve as testaments not only to their artistic prowess but also their profound impact on architectural design throughout history. Lastly, Margot Wheatley inscribed on verso reminds us that behind every great individual stands an equally remarkable partner – a wife, a supporter, and an integral part of Wheatly's journey.
