19th Century
Gas lamps flicker over cobblestone streets as characters navigate a world of strict social codes, forbidden passions, and transformative industrial change. Whether in London's grimy workhouses, Russian gambling dens, or the drawing rooms of English country estates, these masterful works capture humanity at its most raw and refined during an era of unprecedented upheaval.
