Help needed - Civil disorder graphic
Does anybody know of a good web source for 19th-century engravings?

I need something to replace the civil disorder graphic in tiles.dll for my upcoming "Road to Empire" scenario - the Bastille looks a bit too European for my purposes.

The image I need would have to have the following properties:
  • It must show an angry populace
  • Violent intent
  • But not contain any indications of a specific culture or geographical region
  • Preferably, it should be in a 19th century newspaper style (hence the engraving)

An ideal example would be a mass of hands stretched in the air, holding torches or even pitchforks.

Short of anything better, I guess a few burning buildings would also do the trick (along with the latter two conditions).

Any hints would be gratefully appreciated.

there was a picture about some Vandean rioters and bandits - but I can't remeber the name...

Try something luddite-related...

The luddites were rioters who believed technology (i.e. cotton gin) was responsible for their woes, so they went around England smashing machinery.

If you can find an engraving of them, that might work. I looked, but couldn't find anything.

try looking for pictures of some of the revolutions of the mid 1800's or the Indian Mutiny of the same time.
