Signs

In the early days of about 1912 advertisements were painted on walls.
This is such one in Amsterdam about a well known grocery store "Albert Heijn" that still exists, advertising for groceries and colonial  wares.

  6. Old wall fonts are always interesting from the past, too bad that they fade more and more!

  7. We call them “ghost signs” because they are usually very faded, sometimes barely readable. This one is in good shape.
