  6. the artist or fiancees today don't have the imagination, patience, desire, or skills to perform creations like this. Today you would sprayed bs. The nearest art today that comes close to this is what you seen rebuild muscle cars we see at auto shows.

    1. Gotta agree. Closest thing I've seen was about 20 years ago, local courthouse was being restored, old paint removed, original WPA paintings restored. It ended up being beautiful again.

  8. Ornate, but serviceable.
    The upkeep would be hell, even on a billionaire's budget.

    I want to meet the soul daring and brave enough to ascend the library ladders for books on the top shelf, near the ends at the balcony rail.

    I've never read a book worth that trip.
