<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Darkwing Manor, post: 2170438, member: 738&quot;]Oh Lordy, I hope it&#039;s not that Leda again! Perhaps the set is a post-revolutionary,&nbsp; allegorical cautionary tale for Louis Seize and Marie Antoinette. They are portrayed playing peasant at the Hameau... Louis is eating cake (sweetmeats) and Marie is hoping to be rescued into exile by Virginia shipping magnate and crown sympathiser James &quot;Swan&quot;. That&#039;s the great thing about the latitudes and platitudes of material culture theories. Anything goes, the wilder the better. I would tell that story to my guests at the dinner table, simply for the entertainment value alone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
