From military strategists to intrepid explorers, these individuals left an indelible mark on history. Horatio Herbert Kitchener, First Earl Kitchener of Khartoum and of Broome, stands tall as a symbol of British imperialism. His leadership during World War I and his role in shaping British policies across Africa are testament to his influence. Pedro de Valdivia, the Spanish conqueror of Chile, epitomizes the audacity and ambition that characterized European expansion. This American banknote engraving from the 19th century immortalizes his conquests in South America. Joseph Paxton's Crystal Palace serves as a breathtaking reminder of Britain's industrial might during the height of its empire. Erected for the Great Exhibition in 1851, it showcased technological advancements from around the world. David Livingstone emerges as a Scottish explorer who ventured deep into uncharted territories in Africa. His portrait captures both his determination and curiosity that drove him to uncover new lands and cultures. Witnessing grandeur unfold before your eyes is none other than Delhi's state entry ceremony—a spectacle marking imperial power at its zenith. The opulence displayed here reflects colonial dominance over India. The colored engraving depicting David Livingstone's death transports us to an emotional moment when one man's quest came to an end but ignited further exploration by others who followed in his footsteps. Achille Beltrame brings us closer to two significant events—the Second Boer War and a battle fought valiantly in Transvaal—showcasing how conflicts fueled territorial ambitions during this period.
