"Sitting Down: A Reflection on the Art of Resting and Contemplation" In the realm of philosophy, George Berkeley once pondered the nature of existence while sitting down, unraveling the mysteries that lie beyond our perception. Amidst a bustling world, a lonely woman finds solace in her quiet moments of sitting down, seeking comfort within her own thoughts. A young girl worships beside a majestic waterfall, finding serenity as she sits down to connect with nature's awe-inspiring beauty. Musing at the mirror, one contemplates their reflection while seated, delving into introspection and self-discovery. On an intricately designed Tambourine Player Plate (majolica), we witness a moment frozen in time - captured forever is someone joyfully sitting down to create harmonious melodies. Transported back to circa 1900, we find ourselves peering through a stereoview slide depicting a bride's preparations for her wedding day. Sitting down surrounded by loved ones who assist her dress brings forth feelings of anticipation and unity. But sometimes mischief finds its way even when seated; imagine a man about to sit on a drawing pin left on his chair by a naughty boy. The unexpected pain serves as an amusing reminder that life can surprise us even when we are stationary. Exploring movement through stillness takes form in "Animal Locomotion, " where plate 265 showcases various sequences with women sitting down. This photomechanic print captures fleeting moments frozen in time - each pose conveying grace or purposeful intent. Miss Hylda Lewis graces Hyde Park in London on May 4th, 1920.
