Spring is on its way - 01

The Belle Époque (French for "Beautiful Era") was a period in European social history that began in the late 19th century and lasted until World War I. Taking place during the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the "Belle Époque" was named in retrospect, when it came to be considered a "golden age." During this time, the major powers of Europe saw new technologies improve lives, and the commercial arts adapted Renaissance and 18th-century styles to modern forms. In the newly wealthy United States, emerging from the Panic of 1873, the comparable epoch was known as the Gilded Age. In the United Kingdom, this era overlaps the end of what is called the Victorian Era and the period known as the Edwardian Era.
