• “To sit on rocks, to muse o'er flood and fell,/To slowly trace the forest's shady scene,/Where things that own not man's dominion dwell,/And mortal foot hath ne'er or rarely been;/To climb the trackless mountain all unseen,/With the wild flock that never needs a fold;/Alone o'er steeps and foaming falls to lean; This is not solitude, 'tis but to hold Converse with Nature's charms, and view her stores unrolled.” -Lord George Gordon Byron

Abolitionism • A movement that sought out to free slaves, and the belief that all

men are equal. • "The whisper that my master was my father, may or may not be

true; and, true or false, it is of but little consequence to my purpose whilst the fact remains, in all its glaring odiousness, that slaveholders have ordained, and by law established, that the children of slave women shall in all cases follow the condition of their mothers; and this is done too obviously to administer to their own lusts, and make a gratification of their wicked desires profitable as well as pleasurable; for by this cunning arrangement, the slaveholder, in cases not a few, sustains to his slave the double relation of master and father." Chapter 1, pg. 49 (Frederick Douglass)

“Am I Not A Man And A Brother?”

Abolitionist art represented the oppression, And injustice that slaves faced. There are also Pieces of art that are hopeful, but at the same timeRepresent the a hopelessness of being a slave.

Industrialism

• An economic movement, that pushed technology and manufacturing to control the worlds industries.

Industrialism

• “Yet in mechanics, whatever the mechanicians might think, both energies acted as interchangeable force on man, and by action on man all known force may be measured. Indeed, few men of science measured force in any other way. After once admitting that a straight line was the shortest distance between two points, no serious mathematician cared to deny anything that suited his convenience, and rejected no symbol, unproved or unproveable, that helped him to accomplish work. The symbol was force, as a compass-needle or a triangle was force, as the mechanist might prove by losing it, and nothing could be gained by ignoring their value.” (line 17-24, XXV, The Education Of Henry Adams)

Prince Lobkowitz

The art of the industrialist is that ofThe improvement in the technologyAnd the art forms. This is the visual Improvement of the light and exposureOf the photography in the 19th century.
