Anyone else feel like busting through their ceiling?

I know what’s in my attic, a bunch of insulation.  After reading that I may leave a bunch of photos up there for someone to find.

We have cathedral ceilings in the house (the ceilings are slanted), so there's only about a foot between the inside and outside (no attic). If I were to hide anything there I'd have to slip it through a roof vent or something...

Looking at the photos there is one thing that struck me though. I didn't know the backdrops were actually painted in B&W in those days.
I always thought they were in color and painted in a style similar to that of matte paintings used in movies.

What a fantastic find!
Despite our house being about 300 years old, the only thing in our attic are spiders and last year's Christmas decorations.

Outstanding!
