Amidst the serene beauty of The Grazyn Staw Tarn, a deer gatecrashes a tranquil lunch scene, as depicted in Witkiewicz's Blizzard, 1892. In contrast, a girl in a red jacket and short tartan skirt with spats and a straw hat enjoys a moment in 1915, while a woman in a grey checked long kilt-style skirt with vertical front pockets, short jacket, tiny hat, and veil poses for a photograph during the same era. Elsewhere, an album from the Isle of Pines documents the roll call of deportees in 1878-79, and a coot wades through the marsh, accompanied by the iconic image of Big Bird. As fashion evolves, Head-wear fashions for Spring 1939 showcase a variety of styles, from Amy Johnson's floral headpiece to more traditional straw hats. Through these diverse moments in time, the simple straw hat remains a timeless accessory.
