RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Here comes a history (and arts history) hint - an outskirt of the said capital (and nowadays residence of diplomats etc.) once was a capital herself, founded and reigned by a queen.
One of JMW Turner's most important works (he himself described as his "chef d'oeuvre") depicts this founding of the place: The figure in blue and white on the left is the queen, directing the builders of the new city (the remains of which you can visit in an outskirt of the capital where the headquarter was). |
