James Smith & Sons

James Smith & Sons. New Oxford Street, London, WC1. According to Jones and Woodward, this establishment has "an intact nineteenth-century shop front, retaining its highly graphic Victorian typography" (239). Compare this to the (restored) painted signage on another London shop. Photograph and text by George P. Landow.
