In the midst of war sonnets and cans left by Germans after the Battle of Ardennes in January 1945, a special refuse collector emerges. This enigmatic figure traverses through time, collecting not only physical waste but also societal discards. A scene from Sebastian Brant's satire, Ship of Fools, comes to life as minstrels serenade a woman with their melodic tunes. The refuse collector observes this spectacle, recognizing the irony within society's misplaced priorities. Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Decombres; Rubbish; Schutt engraving captures the essence of this unique profession - sorting through discarded fragments to find hidden treasures amidst chaos. Amidst scarcity and hardship depicted in "It is a pity to waste bread in time of dearth" engraving, our special refuse collector becomes an emblematic symbol of resourcefulness and resilience.

In this moment, past meets present as timeless wisdom intertwines with forgotten pages. The depiction of February in vibrant color litho showcases how even within mundane routines lies beauty waiting to be discovered by those who dare to see beyond surface appearances. "In The Hands Of The Philistines" engraving serves as a stark reminder that art can easily fall victim to ignorance if not preserved and cherished. Our special refuse collector stands tall against such destruction, safeguarding cultural heritage one piece at a time. Kitchen Warfare takes on new meaning when an advertisement for Birds Custard Powder litho reveals how everyday objects become battlegrounds for culinary conquests.

Our special refuse collector recognizes that sometimes what we discard holds more value than what we keep.
