hey mate : )

=================================

Nations in the 18th and 19th century were visualized by the artists in a unique manner. They represented the nation as a person or a human being. The nations were mainly potrayed as female figures. The woman that was chosen to personify the nation was not any particular existing women in reality. It was just used as an entity to give nations a concrete form. The female figure became an allegory of the nation.
