So today's post is brief: it's time to scale up this digital restoration work. One way to do that is to collaborate with art schools. What I'd like to do is get this incorporated into the curricula of advanced digital editing classes with the best student work to be selected for exhibition in museums. We have the contacts on the museum side to make that happen.
If you have contacts with an art school, please put them in touch with me: nadezhda(dot)durova(at)gmail(dot)com

Very nice restoration work.
Yes, the "politically incorrect" poster seems just the type of "art" that would be hanging up in a 19th century U.S. saloon filled with cigar smoking men wearing derby hats. A place wishing to set itself a bit above the lowest dives by adding some "class" -- I imagine next to the poster is a sign reminding patrons to use the spittoon rather than spitting on the floor.
The artwork is based on a painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme seen at

Note that the poster artist substituted a bottle of whiskey for the coffee pot in the original painting.
