About this book

Carved shop and house signs and inscriptions of old London are traced here by Philip Norman, an antiquary who was also an artist and drew many of the pictures himself. Henry B. Wheatley's introduction explains that painted signs were swept away by an Act of Parliament in 1762, while sculptured ones stayed because they were part of the buildings, and vanish only when the houses are rebuilt. The book appeared in 1893 as a volume of the Camden Library, and its frontispiece shows a fish shop in Cheyne Walk.
