"Mores: Unveiling the Intricacies of 18th Century Society" Step into the enchanting world of the eighteenth century, where societal norms and customs shaped every aspect of life. Through a series of captivating illustrations and engravings from 1910-1911, we catch glimpses into an era defined by its intricate mores. In one scene, amidst the serene beauty of a park, a man ardently courts a woman. Their elegant attire and graceful gestures reflect the refined courtship rituals that governed relationships during this time. Delving deeper into these complex mores, we encounter three bourgeois women engaging in an unexpected act within the confines of a parlour. This provocative engraving challenges our preconceived notions about societal boundaries and unveils hidden desires lurking beneath their composed facades. Further exploring forbidden territories, another engraving reveals a shocking encounter between a nun and a monk in the depths of a wood. The scandalous discovery exposes human vulnerabilities even within religious orders, shedding light on how deeply ingrained desires can transcend social expectations. Venturing into more intimate spaces, we witness heated debates over taboo objects such as dildos in parlours. Here lies evidence that even those bound by strict moral codes were not immune to curiosity or temptation - revealing cracks in society's façade. A gentleman humbly kneels before a monk in an atmospheric library setting; this depiction highlights power dynamics prevalent during this period while hinting at unspoken desires simmering beneath propriety's surface. However, not all encounters were consensual or respectful. In one unsettling engraving set within a bedroom, maids are subjected to indecent exposure by an audacious monk - exposing darker aspects hidden behind closed doors. Beyond matters of love and desire lie whimsical lithographs depicting fantastical scenes like growing babies from cabbages or playful depictions titled "All The Girls Are Loverly Loverly.
