In the vibrant world of the 10th century, history unfolds through captivating engravings and miniature artworks. St Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, is depicted in a coloured engraving, his presence commanding reverence and wisdom. An Anglo-Saxon Map from this era showcases the intricate knowledge of the time, revealing a glimpse into their geographical understanding. A mesmerizing miniature portrays The Passage of the Red Sea during this period. The scene comes alive with vivid colors and delicate brushstrokes that capture both awe and wonder. A Buddhist chaitya carved in sandstone stands as a testament to spiritual devotion during this mid-10th century AD. The figure of Guanyin, a bodhisattva from China's Northern Song Dynasty (AD 960-1127), exudes grace and compassion in its wooden form. Its intricate details speak volumes about artistic craftsmanship prevalent at that time. Transporting us further back in time is an oil painting depicting The Fire of Rome on July 18th, 64 AD. This artwork captures the chaos and devastation caused by one fateful event that forever changed history. From South America's ancient civilizations emerges Inca Viracocha from Tiahuanaco Classico (500-900 AD). This sculpture embodies power and mystique while offering insight into pre-Columbian cultures. The Death of Germanicus immortalizes a tragic moment in Roman history through an oil painting created in 1627. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, human emotions remain universal across different eras. An Alphabet of Famous Women published circa 1855 introduces us to remarkable women who left indelible marks on society throughout various periods. Their stories inspire generations to come. Religious costumes evolve over time; we witness their transformation through drawings spanning several centuries - from priests donning attire typical for the 10th century to popes adorned with mitres by the 11th century onwards.
