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.

Not to reduce the cost-skill a fair bit of these were done in the early 1800 plus in cast plaster. Still amazing for "just" a door.

This is a photograph of a historic, ornate door in Paris, often referred to as the "Left Bank Blue Door".
