Jane is an independent tour guide, a Londonphile, graphic designer and typographer, who is especially interested in signage for bygone brands and businesses – today often known as ghostsigns. These old ads can appear in many forms, whether as carved and gilded shop fascias, hand-painted advertisements applied directly onto brick walls, or logos forged within metal. For this presentation Jane will focus on the sign makers themselves, the multi-skilled artisans whose handiwork still overlooks and enhances our busy modern streets.
