Step back in time to the era of Marie Antoinette, where women donned elegant jackets and skirts, exuding grace and sophistication. The fur-trimmed outfits added a touch of opulence, reflecting the lavishness of the time. But lepoque was not only about fashion; it encompassed various aspects of life. Engravings depict warriors during the Bronze Age, showcasing their strength and prowess. Funerals during the Iron Age were solemn affairs, paying tribute to those who had passed on. The engravings also capture scenes from everyday life. Hunting expeditions during the Bronze Age demonstrate man's connection with nature and his reliance on hunting for sustenance. A Swiss lakeside village from that same period showcases a community thriving near water resources. As we delve further into history, we witness fishermen utilizing polished stone tools during the Stone Age, adapting to their environment for survival. The Bruniquel rock shelter offers a glimpse into prehistoric habitation when humans coexisted with reindeer. Artistic depictions shed light on cultural practices too. Brodequins (shoes) became a topic of discussion as seen in Desrues' appliquee artwork from that time period. Meanwhile, an aqua-tint engraving captures the demolition of Chatelet in 1802—an event etched forever in history. Even architectural marvels find their place within lepoque's tapestry; a white marble Corinthian capital discovered at Parvis Square reveals remnants from Merovingian times—a testament to past grandeur. Lepoque invites us to explore diverse facets of human existence throughout different eras—fashionable elegance mingling with ancient traditions and societal transformations captured through art and architecture—a journey through time awaiting our discovery.
