Once upon a time, it seemed that all you needed to advertise your business was a prominently visible brick wall, a generous amount of paint, and a talented sign painter.
Throughout the area, these painted wall advertisements provided a great
variety of different products to those who observed them, from local brewers,
retailers and potters to nationally advertised products. |
