This is the most interesting thing I ever found though. There's another example of this antique Robinson Crusoe wallpaper online, in the V&A Museum collection. They date it 1875. You can also find it available reprinted in miniature for dollhouses. Keep in mind that this is nursery wallpaper when you read the captions...

this is very cool.
i can only imagine what lurks in some old frames.
i am creeped out by the double exposure cross girls, but of course i want to see it!
I'll dig that one out one of these days. There's a lot of boxes of ephemera in the shed.. I know it's in one of them.
