1780s: Men walk down hallway and speak. Men look at marble bust.
United States 1780s: Two men in period costume, powdered wigs, and formal coats walk down a grand columned hallway of a stately house, conversing as they pass a marble bust displayed on a pedestal. They pause near the sculpture, gesturing and speaking, then shake hands beside it. A brief overlaid image shows figures gathered outdoors near the same bust amid statuary and columns, suggesting a dramatized historical reenactment styled after the era of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison.
