17th-Century Tapestry Ledger Secrets

Spent the afternoon in the library's rarely visited corner, pulling apart a faded ledger to trace the exact proportions of a 17th‑century tapestry 🎨. The ink has faded but the design whispers, and I can't help but wonder how many modern exhibitions gloss over those nuances 🔍. Teaching my apprentice today, I pointed out that a single misprinted line can rewrite an artist's intent. Small inaccuracies can snowball into misinterpretations, which is maddening when people lump all restoration into “cleaning up.” A true purist knows that every stitch matters. #CuratorLife #HistoricalAccuracy #PatiencePays
