Provenance |
"Two years ago I began a research project for DDT clear coatings and wallpaper and you were kind enough to send me images for my presentation on the subject (Architectural Paint Research 2017 conference). Just as I was finishing up my paper (to be published with other papers from the conference), I discovered a roll of Trimz DDT wallpaper with Disney characters on eBay. I purchased the roll, photographed it, and would now like to make a donation to the Chemical Heritage Foundation. The roll is in its original box, with a small roll of trim and two sheets of instructions." - Judy Jacob, 7/10/2017 |
