"Exploring the Multifaceted World of 1720: From Art to History, Plagues to Projects" Step into the vibrant year of 1720, where Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi captures our attention with his masterpiece "Prisoners on a Projecting Platform. " This intriguing artwork transports us to an era filled with mystery and curiosity. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic Ocean, another significant event unfolds as the South Sea Bubble bursts. The financial crisis that ensues leaves its mark on history and teaches valuable lessons about speculation and greed. In the realm of medicine, we encounter the enigmatic figure of a plague doctor from France in the 18th century. Clad in their distinctive bird-like masks and long coats, these doctors bravely faced one of history's deadliest diseases. Turning our gaze towards innovation, we discover Orffyreus Wheel & Man—a fascinating invention that captivated minds during this period. Its perpetual motion machine sparked debates among scientists and dreamers alike. Nature enthusiasts will find solace in Gilbert White's observations from Selborne. His meticulous records provide invaluable insights into flora and fauna during this time—an ode to nature's wonders. Traveling further eastward brings us to Austria's Vienna Plan from 1720. This architectural marvel showcases grand visions for urban development while preserving historical charm—a testament to human ambition. Amidst all these tales lies Fat Edward Bright—a notorious character who roamed England's highways as a highwayman or robber during the 18th century. His daring escapades became legendary folklore throughout Britain. Across continents yet again, we stumble upon an engraving depicting New Orleans' plan between 1718-1720—showcasing French influence on Louisiana soil through intricate city planning—an enduring legacy still visible today. Returning once more to Gilbert White at Selborne reveals his unwavering dedication to documenting natural phenomena—the beauty he uncovers within every creature is truly awe-inspiring.
