This
bonus round was an easy choice for me, I'd spotted these figures from
Wargames Foundry a while ago. I like to think that the suitor is
seducing his love with some romantic poety.
To see the world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
William Blake
However knowing 18th Century types it's probably Fanny Hill by John Cleland. They weren't also that hot on hygiene which explains the dust around the base of the chaise longue (The glue leached into the paper).The flooring and carpet are both 18th Century designs
This is awesome. Great work Martin!
