And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

“Sibylletemplet ved Tivoli / Temple of the Sibyl at Tivoli” Peder Mørk Mønsted 1884
The art series remains a valuable contribution; I would NEVER see the examples given otherwise. Someone can answer how we might collect them and the captions in a folder or separate site. "Save As" and do it manually, I guess?
**The sibyls were prophetesses or oracles in Ancient Greece. The sibyls prophesied at holy sites. A sibyl at Delphi has been dated to as early as the eleventh century BC by Pausanias when he described local traditions in his writings from the second century AD. At first, there appears to have been only a single sibyl. Source: Wikipedia**
Can you imagine the cost of human life building that by hand?
