I only own one real piece of art. When I was in Greece I stumbled upon a cool art store that created very high quality reproductions of Greek art. A very large amount of their selection was devoted to Greek Orthodox Icons. I had no intention of buying anything, especially something bulky, but I saw this and had to buy it and have it shipped to London:

St. George Slaying the Dragon

The icon is hand painted on wood and the materials used are authentic to an original Greek Orthodox icon, including gold leaf around the heads of the Holy.

St. George is also the patron saint of England. You can read more about him here: Saint George - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
