And it's a great idea. I wish someone would do it here.

York's a great city in the summer. It has an old town surrounded by the resilient remains of a Roman Wall. You can practically walk right around it.

How unusual to see any imagery in a public space with no overt commercialist agenda!

The National Gallery did this last summer in London as well, but sssshhhh, don't tell the Yorkshiremen that, they like to think they came up with all the good ideas first. I studied Archaeology in York, it was a living classroom, I love the city.

DenOfSizer - HP is involved in a sort of commercial way as they printed the reproductions on their large format printers. But they keep their involvement subtle. I remember when this happened in London. It was truly fantastic to turn a corner and see a very lifelike Caravaggio staring you in the face. And as far as I could see there was little vandalism.
