signs - Anything In Particular https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product-tag/signs/ From antique to vintage, from decorative to downright bizarre. Thu, 24 May 2018 23:05:13 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.10 c. 1949 Road Signs Illustration https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/c-1949-road-signs-illustration/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=c-1949-road-signs-illustration Sun, 19 Nov 2017 16:37:23 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=1324 Dating from around 1949 this illustration - presumed to be from an educational book of some sort - depicts various road signs of the era, as authorised by the Ministry of Transport in that year.  Some of these signs seem quite quaint when viewed from the present-day perspective, not to say quite confusing!  The colourful nature of the illustration makes it a nice piece for a motoring enthusiast's wall -- or even as a gift for a driving instructor or professional driver. We particularly like the subtitle: "These make for safety on Britain's highways"!

We've mounted it temporarily on black card and inside a clip frame, but of course the buyer or recipient might ultimately choose a different method of display.  The frame measures 21cm by 30cm (8¼in by 11¾in) and the illustration itself measures 14.5cm by 22cm (5¾in by 8¾in).
