In a world of vibrant Victorian printed scraps, where coloured engravings come to life, Obstinate stands out as the most intriguing character. With an air of defiance and determination, he captures our attention in Curtis British Entomology Plate 387. The meticulous details on this page transport us back to 1899, where an oil painting titled "Off" is displayed on a delicate panel. But Obstinate's presence doesn't stop there; he emerges from the pages of history into the realm of literature. In Christian's journey through allegory, we witness his encounter with Obstinate and Pliable in a captivating chromolitho titled "Christian leaves the City of Destruction. " Their contrasting personalities create a dynamic scene that leaves us wondering about their destinies. As we delve deeper into artistry and expression, we find ourselves amidst lively debates within the House of Commons. Through an engraving aptly named "Sketches in the House of Commons during the Debates on Procedure, " obstinacy takes center stage as politicians passionately defend their beliefs. Yet it is not only within politics that obstinacy manifests itself; even music echoes its resolute nature. Robert Johnson's lithograph exclaims, "Thou art a traitor most obstinate, " leaving us pondering who these words are directed towards and what consequences they may bring. Moving away from human endeavors, we stumble upon Plate 662 - A Refractory Animal Denver collotype on paper featuring a mule known for its stubbornness. This portrayal reminds us that obstinacy can be found beyond our species' boundaries. However, not all instances of obstinacy carry negative connotations or evoke frustration. Ellen's rhyme in Nonsense for Girls illustrates how this trait can be celebrated playfully while embracing individuality and resilience. With each turn of the page comes new surprises: ELEVEN OBSTINATE MEN depicted in a cartoon-like manner remind us how obstinacy can shape the outcome of a jury's decision.
