Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A great unsolved mystery in American political culture is what became of the U.S. Congress's state portraits of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette during the British invasion of the Capitol, Wash., D.C., on the night of 24-25 August 1814.

The professionals' research standards and strategic objectives are weighed in the formulation of a new myth at once sensitive to the historical record and suited to the leisure market.…
