In the vibrant city of Madurai, India, a frenetic tuk-tuk ride unfolds amidst the bustling streets of Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile, a century ago in Paris, the famous Corbeille at the Bourse was a symbol of frenzied trading activity, as depicted in various engravings and lithographs from the 19th century. The FRENETIC HOCKEY C1860 team brought the same level of intensity to the hockey field, while the Paris Bourse's Corbeille echoed the chaos of the stock exchange. Elsewhere, How Big Bill Answered the Call by H.M. Bateman portrays the frenetic pace of World War I, and the La Courtille dance, engraved by Yves, showcases the energetic movements of the popular dance craze. In contrast, the black and white photos of the Paris Bourse from 1846 and 1873 capture a more subdued yet still frenetic atmosphere of the bustling financial hub.
