Images

I wonder if some images could be found of this. Since it's largely ceremonial, apparently the visual look is an important aspect of the history. Searching Google Images brings up a lot. I believe that [1] all works published in the U.S. before 1923 have expired into the public domain. --Cornellier (talk) 13:52, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
