Give: A powerful word that holds the key to countless stories and moments in history. From Lady Macbeth's desperate plea for courage to wield daggers, to the elegance of Swan Fountain Pens in 1932, giving has always played a significant role. In Bruce Bairnsfather's 'The Thirst For Reprisals, ' we witness the consequences of refusing to give forgiveness. As immigrants arrive at New York, they carry dreams and hopes waiting to be given a chance. The cacique of Tabasco presents twenty Indigenous people as an offering to Hernan Cortes, highlighting the complex dynamics of power and giving. Shakespeare's timeless words grace greetings cards, reminding us that love is best expressed through acts of giving. Nelson's last signal at Trafalgar on October 21st, 1805, urged his men never to cease their efforts - a call for unwavering dedication even when faced with adversity. Stepping into a butcher shop reveals the essence of giving sustenance and nourishment; it is where life is shared with gratitude. A commanding suffragette fought tirelessly for women's rights by demanding equality - her voice echoed through generations as she gave hope for change. Mozart's opera Don Giovanni transports us back to 1787; its enchanting melodies gift us with emotions that only music can provide. Charles Folkard's illustration 'The Cat and the Mouse' captures an unexpected act of kindness between two unlikely friends - showing how small gestures can make all the difference in fostering compassion towards animals. Lastly, an animal welfare card reminds us that every creature deserves our care and protection; it encourages us all to give our support in creating a better world for them.
