"L'Univers: A Glimpse into the Past" Step back in time with L'Univers, a captivating collection of chromolithographs that offer a window into various aspects of the 19th century. Prince Felix Salm-Salm's portrait from 1828 showcases his regal demeanor and hints at the grandeur to come. Umberto I, King of Italy, is captured as a young prince in 1868, radiating an air of potential and leadership. However, not all images depict royalty or nobility. The stark reality of slavery is depicted through a poignant scene where captured Africans are led away by a white slaver. This haunting image serves as a reminder of humanity's dark past. The expedition led by Englishman Captain Bedford Pim in search for a trans-oceanic canal through Nicaragua reveals the spirit of exploration and ambition prevalent during this era. Meanwhile, cases of tea being unloaded from China clippers at London Docks highlight the global trade networks that connected nations. The delivery of Royal Mail in British occupied India reflects colonial influence on daily life while showcasing efficient communication systems established during this period. On lighter note, we witness a joyous gathering on Epiphany Day where families come together to celebrate and indulge in feasts - an enchanting glimpse into familial traditions. The Almadraba system employed by French fishermen along the Provence coast demonstrates their age-old techniques for catching tuna fish; practices still utilized today in Spain. Bertrand Du Guesclin's portrayal captures his legendary status as one of France's most celebrated military leaders while Field Marshal Robert Cornelis Napier exudes strength and determination befitting his title. L'Univers offers us an invaluable opportunity to immerse ourselves in history - it allows us to appreciate both triumphs and hardships faced by individuals across different continents during this transformative era.
