Some lovely old photographs of Paris with hand-painted signs

About

A place for me to collect and share traces of the past before they are forgotten or disappear forever. The focus is on remnants of the past found in the urban landscape, especially in Lviv / Львів / Lwów / Lemberg, but also in language, music, etc.
