The original signs were painted because many people could not read. The modern-day sign must attract people who have little time to read the message they contain or who are, perhaps, just passing in their cars. Yet they still need to be visually interesting and appealing to local residents. Design is all important. A sign must be well balanced and sturdy, a firmly defined and attractive arrangement of coloured shapes. A well-defined silhouette in few colours is considered ideal, but elaborate perspective drawings and excessive contrast, unless in poster form, are rarely successful. There is little room for subtlety, for intellectualism, or for irony except in their broadest forms, which is one reason why heraldry, when imaginatively treated, is successful. Today's sense of style has improved heraldic subjects, and more recent inn signs reflect this change. But there is much more to 'signs than the expertise needed to paint them. They are steeped in the history and way of life of England past and present, and this progression unfolds through the pages of this classic work - probably the greatest ever written on the history of signboards.

Typed explanatory note at foot of front free endpaper which states, 'I wrote this long ago, when I was still schoolmastering. It was badly retyped by the publishers, and when they wouldn't let me have the time needful to revise it properly, I agreed they could see it through the press themselves - and keep my name off the title-page. (Hence such howlers as the heraldic one on p. 95). Imperfect as it is, I hope it's worth acceptance, and I'd like you to have this copy with my compliments and good wishes.' There were twelve earlier editions of this classic work, the last appearing in 1907. William Keith Hancock (1898 Ð 1988) was a distinguished Australian historian.
