In two minds about this: yes it feels VERY unfair, but I'd rather the ultra rich were supporting our public museums than buying the artefacts and squirreling them away where no one can see them.

Wallpaper at Fraunces Tavern Museum in NYC depicting General Washington arriving in Boston. The full 49-foot, 32-panel, 360-color "Views of the American War of Independence" is still produced by Zuber & Cie (est. 1797) in Rixheim, France, using 2,300 (!) wood blocks carved between 1834 and 1852. It takes a full year to print and is likely the world's most expensive wallpaper ($100,000?). The blocks themselves are classified as Historic Monuments by the French Ministry of Culture. #france #history #art #nyc #newyork #museum #wallpaper #woodblock #boston #war #independence #250th
