Salon Series 56: The History and Craft of French Sign Painting

In Lettres Décoratives: A Century of French Sign Painter Alphabets, sign painter Morgane Côme introduces readers to the dazzling chromolithographic albums of painted letters published in France from the mid-nineteenth century. Join Côme in conversation with Sam Roberts for a whirlwind tour of the albums and the craft they inspired. Côme will share observations on the stylistic features of the alphabets and discuss where these works sit within the wider history of French sign painting, while Roberts will bring an international perspective, drawing connections to sign painting in other countries and exploring what these historic albums can offer to the contemporary sign painting trade.
