From the midst of the revolution.&nbsp; We just covered this period in my modern European history class, and I have been thinking I need to buy some examples from the time period...&nbsp; perfect!&nbsp; I don’t know enough about these (yet) to give a full attribution, but needless to say, I will have some fun in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you [USER=4298]@Cucumbor[/USER]![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
