The Prussian blue in question is ink, not paint. I think it's the same
stuff that people, until recently, used to whiten clothes. For some
reason, tinting white clothes blue makes it look whiter than white.
Oddly enough, ink fades quite rapidly. I used to have 2 drawings in my
office done by the same artist in the late 40s. One is ink and the other
is pencil. The pencil drawing could have been done yesterday and the ink
is getting hard to make out. What a shame.
