Schloss Herrenchiemsee, Bavaria, Germany -- This looks like Lady justice, perhaps a very wise Germana. Ludwig was only 18 when he became king about the time American were killing each other through their horribly misnamed Civil War. Ludwig's area had its own North-South conflict and he tried to reconcile the differences between Germany's two great states: his Bavaria and Bismarck's 's Prussia. But he was much more interested in the arts and as time went on, he pretty much ignored affairs of the state, slipping into deeper and deeper seclusion.
