SignCraft has published the first of two posts with my selection of a dozen personally meaningful London ghost signs from our book:

View from below of a gable end wall that has branches and leaves from a tree covering parts of the uppermost portion. On the wall is a fading painted sign that has a small picture of a piano in the centre and then, arching over this, lettering that reads "Bloom's Pianos". Underneath is the word "Perfection" and, below this, in very small, just legible letters there is the one-time address and phone number of the company. The far bottom-right corner has a manicule pointing to the right.

For no particular reason, a throw back to this 2012 post on the Ghostsigns blog:

View of a portion of a brick wall that has a very faded hand-painted sign on it that reads "Vote Against Prohibition" with each word set on its own line and the block letters sized at about ten bricks tall.

Ghost Hidden by Dumpsters

Vintage signage for a popular Sioux Falls Pharmacy. I’m not certain what was here when the sign was painted. It is now partially behind a restaurant’s dumpsters.

Large wall adorned with an array of fading hand-painted signs in two columns. Most visible, in the left column, are pieces of signage advertising Magid Handbags. On the right is one for Coblentz Bag Co. and others below that that aren't easily legible.

Pharmacy of Yesteryear

This was a Druggist in the late 19th and early 20th century in Council Bluffs, Iowa

A black-and-white photograph of a large brick building with a weathered painted advertisement high on its side wall. The word “DRUGGIST” is clearly visible in large, faded capital letters, with other lettering beneath and to the left that has largely deteriorated. The stepped brick parapet stands against a pale sky, while decades of weathering have left the old advertisement embedded in the textured masonry.

Neat step-by-step of reconstructing a very faded Austrian ghost sign through the manipulation of a photograph of the wall.

Neu im Blog: »Das Typographische Fundstück« vom 30.10.2026. Eine echte Herausforderung war das eingereichte Foto einer Blogleserin, auf dem kaum noch etwas zu lesen war. Ich zeige, wie mir die Rekonstruktion der alten Wandwerbung dennoch gelang. Link zum Beitrag: ➡️ https://tyfudewo.de/30-10-2026/ (Gerne boosten, ich freue mich über alle neuen Leser*innen!)

This commercial building was in business from 1906-1962 and has since been private residence, apartments, and business space since then.

Walking through Abbotsford this morning after breakfast, we spotted this ghost sign for "Scrubbo Soap". Apparently it was a brand manufactured in nearby Burnley in the first half of the 20th century, now long gone.
