ReplyDeleteThanks for the post! You've likewise been linked.
Here's more for your Press collection. Came across this, from Ft. Collins, Colorado, where the city has started a program to preserve their ghost signs:
Apparitions of the Past: The Ghost Signs of Fort Collins - July 2007
This context addresses the ghost signs of Fort Collins. It is intended to provide a means of determining the significance of the city’s extant painted wall signs and provide suggestions for the preservation and interpretation of these historic advertisements.
There is an accompanying PDF with photos and historical context. Very interesting. Arrived there from this article:
