Step back in time to the vibrant and captivating 1950s, a decade filled with cultural milestones and artistic wonders. In Eastern Geelong, the streets come alive with color as locals go about their daily lives, capturing the essence of this era in a stunning photograph. Meanwhile, Warrnambool also shines brightly in hues that reflect the spirit of the times. Delve into history further as you behold a misshapen baluster jar adorned with delicate flowers from around 1670. This porcelain masterpiece tells tales of craftsmanship and beauty that have stood the test of time. Journey to Weimar, Germany, where the Goethe Schiller monument stands proudly before its national theater. A symbol of literary greatness and intellectual prowess, it serves as a reminder of these influential figures' impact on society during this period. Greece beckons us next with its awe-inspiring statue of Achilles in Corfu. Created by Johannes Gotz in 1909 but still resonating throughout the 1950s, this sculpture pays homage to an ancient hero who continues to inspire generations. Immerse yourself further into Greek culture by visiting Achilleion palace on Corfu island. Built by Empress Elisabeth - Sisi - of Austria and surrounded by lush gardens, it houses another magnificent depiction of Achilles. This image transports us back to circa 1954 when visitors marveled at its grandeur. Closer to home in Bavaria lies Luitpold Bridge or Prince Regent Bridge gracefully spanning over Isar river. Its stone sculpture representing Bavaria alongside the Angel of Peace creates an enchanting backdrop for passersby during those peaceful days in 1957. Florence calls out for exploration too; here we find Benvenuto Cellini's Perseus with Medusa's Head sculpture adorning Loggia dei Lanzi. Dating back to 1554 but captured beautifully through Erich Andres' lens circa 1954, this masterpiece showcases the timeless allure of Italian artistry.
