Amidst the chaos of The Financial Crisis in France at the Paris Bourse in this engraving, the Inner Circle of influential financiers and traders huddled together, making crucial decisions that would shape the future of the nation. Meanwhile, across the English Channel, the Parnell Commission's investigation unfolded in London, shedding light on corrupt practices within the British government (The Parnell Commission, engraving). In the heart of the city, the Paris Bourse stood as a symbol of power and wealth, while just a stone's throw away, the quiet streets of Montmartre bore witness to the lives of the less fortunate (Somerset TA1 2 Map, Camden NW1 4 Map). As the sun set on the ancient stones of Avebury, the mysteries of the past seemed to whisper tales of forgotten secrets (b/w photo). And in a stark contrast, the bustling streets of Birmingham on the 27th of December, 1959, were a testament to the relentless march of progress. Through the brushstrokes of Francisco de Goya, the portrait of Jacques Galos in 1826 captured the essence of the Inner Circle - a select few, bound by wealth and power, shaping the course of history behind closed doors.
