"Excessive: From Generosity to Fashion Follies" Step into the world of excess, where extremes know no bounds. Let's delve into a captivating journey through history and witness the remarkable tales of individuals and objects that pushed the limits of what is considered normal. First, we encounter The Jockey Fred Archer, whose insatiable appetite for victory led him to become one of horse racing's most celebrated figures. His relentless pursuit for success knew no boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on the sport. Next, we meet Konstantin Buteyko, a Soviet doctor who challenged conventional wisdom with his revolutionary breathing techniques. His unyielding belief in the power of breath transformed lives and left many questioning their own limitations. As our exploration continues, we stumble upon the awe-inspiring aircraft carrier HMS Furious. This behemoth vessel defied expectations with its sheer size and capabilities, forever changing naval warfare as we know it. Turning our attention to artistry, Kenny Meadows' illustration to Timon of Athens captures Timon's excessive generosity flawlessly. With coins and jewels showering from above like raindrops from heaven, this depiction showcases how even benevolence can reach extravagant heights. Nature too has its share of extravagance; enter the Puffin (Fratercula), adorned with vibrant beaks that seem almost unreal in their vividness. These charming creatures remind us that sometimes Mother Nature herself indulges in lavish displays. Intriguingly enough, Sir Hiram Maxim's steam-driven aeroplane wreck serves as a reminder that even innovation can succumb to excesses when taken too far. It stands as a testament to human ambition pushing beyond practicality but also highlighting valuable lessons learned along the way. Dalgety & Company Advertisement introduces us to a world where opulence meets commerce - enticing consumers with promises of luxury beyond imagination. A glimpse into an era where desires were fueled by excess, leaving us pondering the impact of such marketing tactics.
