No it is some type of synthetic from the '70s. Like plastic-ish adjacent, all the old people knew exactly what it was when I got this place I can't remember.

    How have these survived on the wall for 50 years?

    We've wiped them down almost every time. I forgot once or twice for a number of hours. The main side wall was pockmarked when I moved in from being wet too much already though, but not to the point the water getting through yet.

    But the humidity alone would destroy a non-waterproof material in a shower.

    This doesn't make sense.

    It will literally reach 100% humidity inside of your bathroom. That material doesn't need full contact to absorb water out of the air
