' We can almost feel the tension as an aspiring genius awaits inspiration, reminding us that greatness often requires patience and perseverance. Through his brushstrokes in "Cossack and Russian Reel'd from the Sabre-Stroke Shatter'd and Sunder'd, " Tennant immortalizes a fierce battle scene. The intensity leaps off the canvas as we witness the chaos and bravery amidst conflict. Travel back in time with Chaucer himself in "Chaucer riding to Canterbury with the pilgrims.

Wellington on the eve of Waterloo stands tall in another vivid lithograph by Tennant.

From Ballads of Famous Fights comes another masterpiece titled "'Cossack and Russian reel'd from sabre stroke. '" Here, Tennant showcases his ability to capture not only action but also emotion within each stroke, and is an ode to valorous struggles throughout history. With Roger Bacon solving the riddle of rainbow depicted in litho form, Tennant showcases the brilliance of a scientific mind.
