Hospitality through the signs that welcomed travelers across centuries.

This book surveys the history of inn and tavern signs as living tokens of hospitality. By tracing how signs reflected welcome, geography, and art, it reveals a rich dialogue between travelers, hosts, and artists. From London and Paris to towns across Europe, expert commentary and vivid illustrations show how signs shaped the culture of inns and how great painters and sculptors—the likes of Hogarth, Holbein, Prud’hon, and Watteau—left their mark on a humble, enduring craft.

- Learn how old signs advertised hospitality and told stories for guests and hosts alike
- Discover the connections between travel, safety, and the design of signs in different countries
- See how famous artists contributed emblematic signs and how those signs were perceived then and now
- Explore the broader art and history surrounding tavern culture and urban life

Ideal for readers who love history, art, and the everyday textures of past hospitality; for anyone curious about how visual culture shaped social spaces.
