The 18th century was a time of great change and innovation in various aspects of society. In Florence, Italy, the Basilica of Santa Croce housed the tomb of Galileo Galilei, a renowned scientist whose discoveries revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Meanwhile, in a satin workshop, artisans meticulously coated printed canvas with a mixture of wax and starch before placing it on a hot grille. The canvas was then lustreed using a glass wheel suspended from the ceiling joists. This intricate process resulted in beautifully finished fabrics that were highly sought after. In another scene from this era, slaves were depicted washing gold sands as shown in an engraving from the late 18th century. This image serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those who toiled under oppressive conditions during this time. Art also played an important role during this period, with polychrome wood sculptures like "Allegory of Value" being created at the end of the 18th century. These exquisite pieces showcased both artistic skill and symbolic meaning. The French Revolution had significant implications for Europe and beyond. Georges Jacques Danton's famous exclamation "to defeat, we need audacity" epitomized the revolutionary spirit that swept through France in August 1792. His words continue to resonate even today as reminders to be bold and courageous when facing challenges. Wars also shaped history during this era; one such conflict was the Seven Years War (1756-1763). The death of Louis d'Assas du Mercou at Battle of Kloster Kampen is remembered through engravings depicting his bravery on October 16th, 1760. Monarchs also left their mark on history during this time period. Stanislas Leszczynski, King of Poland and father to Louis XV Duke Lorraine had his statue erected by sculptor George Jacquot at Royal Square where previously stood Louis XV's statue.
