No?
I was in London last winter with my wife and popped into this shop near the National Museum. Briefly spoke w the guy (but didn't see him as he was downstairs mid bleach bath).

Since we have the small luxury of having a spare room in our Parisien flat, I've annexed it (wife was not happy) so I can start working to conserve & restore my far too many posters (wife …(Quote) Will post a pic of it in about a week or two once I get it back and up on the wall!Tragic.
