Meanwhile, in another corner of history, gladiators engage in their final combat. This vivid color lithograph depicts the intense climax of their battles - a testament to both bravery and mortality. Amidst all this action, we find ourselves transported to a different scene altogether - one where a standard-bearer stands tall on an open field.

But not all moments are filled with grandeur; sometimes it's about finding solace by the roadside. A halt is taken amidst lush landscapes as weary travelers rest and rejuvenate before continuing their journey. This serene lithograph captures that brief respite from life's hustle and bustle.
