Let's embark on a colourful journey that spans across time and cultures. In the midst of the First World War, amidst chaos and destruction, soldiers found solace in colouring books like "V For Victory Paint Book. " Amidst the deafening roars of Big Bertha M42 cannons, these simple pages offered an escape from reality. Nature too has its own palette to offer. The majestic Iris Bruno stands tall among other flowers, showcasing its vibrant petals in various shades. Meanwhile, Gordon Setter Shaw prances through fields as if painted by an artist's brushstroke. But colouring isn't limited to just paper and pencils; it extends beyond imagination.

Through digitally enhanced prints from 1895, we catch glimpses of their vibrant attire that brings history alive once more.
