Sign painting was more than just a job—it was an art form that defined the streetscapes of towns and cities. The sight of a supermarket sign painter in the 1970s, diligently creating a window display, is a reminder of a time when advertising was as much about craftsmanship as it was about commerce.
Today, while most advertisements are digitally printed, the legacy of sign painters endures as a testament to the skill and creativity of these talented artisans.
