Thế kỷ 19
Đèn gas lập lòe trên những con phố lát đá khi các nhân vật điều hướng trong một thế giới của các quy tắc xã hội nghiêm ngặt, những đam mê bị cấm đoán và sự thay đổi công nghiệp mang tính chuyển đổi. Dù là trong các nhà lao bẩn thỉu ở London, các sòng bạc Nga hay phòng khách của các trang viên nông thôn Anh, những tác phẩm xuất sắc này ghi lại nhân loại ở trạng thái thô sơ và tinh tế nhất trong một thời đại biến động chưa từng có.
