"Backed: A Man of Time, Mossadeq 1951 and the Diamond-backed Rattlesnake" In 1952, Mohammad Mosaddegh was hailed as the "Man of Year" by Time magazine, a testament to his remarkable leadership. Just like the venomous Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake coiled on a rock with its tongue out, he was fierce and determined in his pursuit of justice for Iran. But just as nature presents us with diverse species, there are other intriguing backings that catch our attention. Take the red-backed shrike (Lanius collurio), known for its striking appearance and cunning hunting techniques. It reminds us that even seemingly small creatures can leave a lasting impact. Travel posters from iconic cruise lines such as White Star Line and French Line CGT transport us to an era when ocean voyages were grand adventures. They beckon us to explore new horizons, whether it be sailing from Plymouth to New York or experiencing The World of Tomorrow at the New York World's Fair. Air France's poster invites us on a journey from Paris to New York, reminding us that travel is not only about reaching destinations but also about embracing cultural connections. Similarly, Cunard Line's Aquitania promises an unforgettable voyage bridging Europe and America. The Le Mans 24 hours races in June and September 1968 captivate motorsport enthusiasts worldwide with their thrilling speed and endurance. These two posters serve as reminders of human determination in pushing boundaries. Even amidst all these captivating images, we cannot forget one of history's most tragic tales - RMS Titanic. The Harland & Wolff drawing depicting a floating crane serves as a haunting reminder of this ill-fated shipwreck that claimed countless lives. Lastly, let's not overlook Geoffroy's rousette bat (Rousettus amplexicaudatus) - an enchanting creature whose beauty lies in its unique features.
