Of the millions of enamel advertising signs produced between 1850 and 1950, only a few thousand survived and the authors describe and illustrate over 100 samples from their own collection.
The authors are alumni of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Christopher Baglee graduating in Architecture and Andrew Morley in Fine Art. They started collecting enamels in the 1970s and have since collaborated on many projects based around the subject.
