Delirium through the ages: Abbe Raynal's etching captures the madness of 18th century, contrasted by Johnny Newcome's engraving in Jamaica's tropical heat. A young woman's hysteria in 1878, a figure crowned with laurels, and The Rolling Stones' electric energy at The Garden Party. Charles Dickens' lithograph of Edwin Drood's mystery and The Beatles' 1964 tour bring modern twists. Don Quixote's delusion of grandeur battles sheep, while Cleopatra's oil painting exudes seductive allure. Fever's hallucination completes this journey through time, showcasing the timeless and intriguing nature of delirium.
