April 17 is a pinboard of audacity: poets reading to kings, explorers threading unknown coasts, revolutionaries staking theses, and engineers coaxing a broken spacecraft home. Across centuries, this date marks turning points—cities falling and rising, constitutions proclaimed, unions re-legalized, and the first roar of a classic car. In this Echoes volume, you’ll trace 50 moments from courtly manuscripts to lunar robots and ash clouds that grounded a continent. Each scene comes with a short history and a meticulously specified coloring prompt so you can bring the day to life—ink-only, clean lines, no filler. It’s a time-capsule you finish with your own hands.
