About this ebook
'London Signs and Inscriptions' is an exploration of a neglected area of London's history - the sculpted signs that adorned the city's buildings for centuries. With a keen eye for detail and a talent for art, author Philip Norman has uncovered countless examples of these fascinating relics, which offer a unique glimpse into the lives and interests of Londoners past. From crests and coats of arms to fantastical creatures and astronomical symbols, each sign tells its own story, and together they form a rich tapestry of the city's past. This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in London's history and its enduring architectural legacy.
