Well, Francis. I would say Marie Antoinette, but lady liberty still has her head. <smile>
As Margo suggested bedtime downunder (midnight). Cheers until next time friends.
"Isabella was still striking lady, when she met the sculptor Bartholdi, he asked her to sit and be his model and she was the model for the Statue of Liberty. The statue was given to the American people in 1886 as a gift from the French people. A smaller statue of the Lady of Liberty was erected on an island at the side of the Pont de Grenelle, over the River Seine in Paris. The Duchess de Camposelice was 52 when she met and fell in love for the first time."

Well, my goodness. I knew that you French gave us the lady, but not who the model was for her.
I love Emma Lazarus' compressed poem at the base of the statue. Do you know how Emma died?
I believe she is dead of cancer..
Child bed fever, Francis, but I can't verify that. As I recall, child bed fever was caused as a result of doctors going right to the delivery room from the autopsy room without washing their hands.
Clue: (You were correct about Emma, Francis)
That's it, Tico. And not so much as a cinder here, but it is VERY dry.
"All rise". It's Tico's turn.

No ... you can tell us where this is:
Looks like Giant's causeway in Antrim County, Ireland.
But maybe you're trying to confuse us.
So, I'll say Seal Rock State Park, Oregon..
Looks like Giant's causeway, neverthless...
To be precise, Northern Ireland.
