Hovdala slott reproduction wallpaper by Lim & Handtryck
This pattern is named for Hovdala castle in Skåne, a medieval building which has belonged to the Swedish Property Board since 1947. The original wallpaper is dark green and was installed in the 1920s. With its matte colors and the raised texture of distemper paint, the illusion of textile is almost perfect. This type of pattern was common at the end of the 1800s.

IJN Mikasa
Launched in 1902 and photographed in the top image in 1905, the Mikasa is the only surviving pre-dreadnought battleship in the world. The Mikasa is now a museum ship, is actually embedded in concrete and is to be found in the town of Yokosuka on the Yokohama Bay.
The following article wriiten by Geoffrey Morrison and on CNET gives a great breakdown of the story of IJN Mikasa, the current museum and includes some fantastic images of the ship.
