Susi - weighing a bone on scales. 1950s

"From the bustling fruit and vegetable market to the serene Tea Plantations of Sri Lanka, weighing holds significance in diverse cultures. In ancient Egypt, the Egyptian Book of the Dead depicted the Judgement of the Dead, where souls were weighed against a feather. Meanwhile, in Leeuwarden's Old Square, locals gather as if on a scale, their presence adding weight to its historical charm. Susi delicately weighs a bone on scales, reminding us that even small actions can have great impact. In John Bull's comical cartoon depiction on a weighing machine during The Census, we see how society measures itself. The tragic tale of RMS Titanic unfolds with CS Mackay-Bennett recovering a signet ring—a poignant reminder of lives lost and stories forever imprinted. Mrs Gammon's role as Grocer's Wife highlights her meticulousness in weighing goods for customers' satisfaction. Ancient Egypt resurfaces again with Fu from the Book of Death overseeing judgement through precise measurements. The Weigh-house Chapel in London stands as an architectural testament to this practice throughout history while Hiller YH-32 Hornet 55-4963 takes flight with precision and balance above our heads. Finally, Gothic Art adorns Paris' Notre Dame facade where an archangel seems poised mid-flight—its wingspan seemingly measured by divine hands. " Note.
