"Arms Folded: A Glimpse into History and Expression" In this captivating collection of images, we explore the art of folding arms as a universal gesture that transcends time. From the disciplined stance of Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, lst Viscount Baden-Powell, an English soldier who embodied strength and leadership, to the confident pose of Charles Thurston Fogg-Elliot captured by Sir Leslie Matthew Ward in 1894. The wrestling scene depicted in "As You Like It" showcases the power dynamics at play, where folded arms symbolize determination and readiness for action. Meanwhile, Frederick Marriott's exquisite panel in gesso and mother-of-pearl transports us to a world of intricate craftsmanship. Thomas Graham's portrait from 1850 reveals a man with his arms crossed tightly against his chest – perhaps lost in deep contemplation or concealing emotions yet to be revealed. In contrast, the study for "A Parisian Cafe" captures a moment frozen in time; a man seated at a cafe table engrossed in reading his newspaper while casually folding his arms. Herbert Ponting's lens takes us on an expedition to Kanawa's public bath in 1910. Amongst steam-filled air and serene surroundings, individuals find solace with their folded arms resting upon ancient stone walls. Moving forward through history brings us face-to-face with Francis, Duke of Teck - regal and composed - exuding confidence even with crossed arms. JH Harris' portrayal of a witch doctor from Belgian Congo reminds us that this gesture can signify authority within different cultures. Fast-forwarding to more recent times introduces Commander Joe Blake overseeing the SS Great Britain project circa 1972 – commanding respect effortlessly through his assertive posture. Edith Evans addresses an Equity meeting held at Wyndhams Theatre on May 22nd, 1951; her folded arms conveying conviction as she passionately advocates for the rights of performers.
