Eamonn De Valera (1882-1975), a prominent Irish nationalist and ringleader, is seen in a black and white photograph during his arrest in 1917. In a different era, a charcoal, pastel, and black chalk drawing captures the intensity of a circus ringleader at work in the ring, around the same time, in 1899. De Valera's surrender, depicted in a sepia photo, mirrors the quiet determination of Alexander the Great quelling the mutiny at Opis in 324 BC. The statue of Samuel Adams, one of the strongest voices for the American Revolution, stands as a testament to the power of a ringleader's influence. Meanwhile, Friday October Christian (c1764-c1794), the enigmatic ringleader of the infamous Mutiny on the Bounty, is captured in a historical account alongside his castaway companions, a Jack Straw's Castle and a 65-pound English sheepdog.
