The book 'Ghost Signs: A London Story' offers a detailed exploration of London's ghost signs, which are hand-painted advertisements reflecting the city's rich history. Authored by Sam Roberts and Roy Reed, this comprehensive collection features about 250 ghost signs, complete with geo-location and context about their significance. Each sign narrates its own unique history—ranging from personal milestones to historical events. The project is now live on Kickstarter, targeting fans of design, typography, and urban history, aiming to preserve and celebrate these fading remnants of the past.
Ghost Signs: A London Story compiles around 250 hand-painted relics of London's advertising past, showcasing their importance and historical relevance.
Each ghost sign tells a story, representing everything from births, deaths, and whiskey to the impacts of war on urban life.
