| Painted Signs and Mosaics | |
|---|---|
If you look up or down, you will soon discover plenty of painted signs and mosaics, not only in London but also sometimes in remote villages. Whether they are highly elaborate or very simple, relatively well-preserved or have almost completely faded by now, they provide a valuable insight into our social history and past commercial practices. Most interesting blog by Sebastien Ardouin: painted adverts from Britain, France, Germany and elsewhere. | |
