The William Smith Geological Map leads us deep beneath the Earth's surface, where precious gems and minerals lie concealed, waiting for intrepid explorers to unearth their beauty. Meanwhile, the Treasure Island Map beckons with its promise of buried chests overflowing with gold doubloons and shimmering jewels. Intrigue takes center stage as we encounter RUSSELL: STAGE ROBBER, a gripping scene capturing both danger and fortune.

And what could be more regal than The King's Two Daggers—one adorned with golden splendor, the other forged from sturdy iron—symbols of power wielded by those who seek dominion over land and sea? Venturing further back in time, we discover ornate relics from ancient Egypt—the gilt shrine depicting goddess Isis reveals an opulence fit for pharaohs while Tutankhamun's tomb unveils wonders beyond imagination.
