Amidst the opulence of Marie Antoinette's era, a fashionable woman dons a tricorn hat, a nod to the past as she gazes at the St. Dorothy panel in a grand chateau. Meanwhile, in the same era, St. Dorothy, patron saint of gardeners, is depicted holding a pear variety in the left hand panel of a polyptych. Across the Channel, Louis Philippe Orleans witnesses the first demonstration of the experimental steamship Pyroscaphe on the River Seine. Fast forward to the English Garden and coffee house Dorothee in Eaux-Bonnes, Pyrenees-Atlantiques, France, where a young girl in an adult dress from the C16 era sips coffee. In a stark contrast, a black and white photo captures the determination of another young girl or St. Dorothy, holding a torch during the detonation of the first torpedo in 1805.
