The humble blue cornflower, or Le Bleuet, holds a poignant place in French hearts, a testament to the sacrifices made during the First World War. This evocative image from Agenda Buvard du Bon Marche, published in 1917, showcases a long lineage of French victories, instilling pride and resilience. Fast forward to the WW2 era, the iconic "England expects" image, a powerful reminder of the unwavering spirit of the British people, stands as a testament to their resolve. The Evocation of the Devil, an illustration from the Compendium Maleticarum, serves as a stark reminder of the supernatural fears and beliefs that once gripped society. A leap into the modern era, the KPD poster from 1929, ignites the flames of revolution, inspiring change and unity. Back to the present, a serene street scene in Bisworth, Northamptonshire, offers a moment of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Lastly, the Gaudi House Museum in Barcelona, a masterpiece of the Studio of Gaud, serves as a symbol of artistic innovation and creativity, inspiring awe and wonder in all who visit.
