Dutch Empire

Gentrification
Era
Seventeenth century, listing photos taken earlier
Provenance
Wherever the galleon dropped anchor and raised the rent
Medium
Travel-poster lithograph, navy and cream, gold underline included at no extra charge
Edition
Open enrollment, existing residents need not apply

A galleon arrives under full sail, one of which is printed with an apartment floor plan. A bicycle is lashed to the deck, an omen locals learned to read too late. The gold underline lends the whole enterprise an air of legitimacy it did not otherwise carry.
