Step back in time and explore the rich history through the lens of a bygone era. From the tense moments of Mayor Kervegan stopping a riot of peasants in 1790, to the elegant winter fashions of Victorian women in 1875, each piece tells a story. Witness the innovation of Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903, as they look up at the sky with awe, while a Tudor pageant in Westerham, Kent, brings history to life in 1939. And travel even further back, to ancient Egypt, where Pharaoh Djoser's bas-relief at Heliopolis showcases the grandeur of Tudor-era fashion, captured in intricate detail on temple walls.
