In a black and white photo, we witness this momentous occasion that marked advancements in medical education. Moving on, we catch a glimpse of Bournemouth as it was visited by royalty. From atop East Cliff, we marvel at the breathtaking view that enchanted both locals and visitors alike back in 1890. Transporting us to Victorian summers is Randolph Caldecott's delightful artwork. Scenes from this era come alive as we explore leisurely activities enjoyed during those warm days over a century ago. An antique engraving then invites us to soar above Cairo, revealing an enchanting birds-eye view of this ancient city steeped in history and mystery. Shifting gears to entertainment, lithographs depict characters from "Sinbad the Sailor, " bringing to life this beloved pantomime performed at Surrey Theatre. The colorful illustrations transport us into Sinbad's adventurous world filled with mythical creatures and daring escapades. Inventor extraordinaire Thomas Edison makes an appearance next - his genius forever shaping our modern world with groundbreaking inventions that continue to impact our lives today.
