cinema sign
SCOTLAND - 1955
A rare early cinema sign, in untouched condition since the day it was last used to display the evenings movies in 1955, in Scotland - Timberjack and African Manhunt. The cardboard spacers have a lovely naturally worn and aged patina, creating wonderful contrasting colours against the dark stencil letters.
The paper lining at the back which is used to help illuminate the letters has been damaged to the top, which is likely the reason it was discarded and not used again. I have taken pictures of it with and without a light behind it, to show how it would have looked in use. This could be achieved as a permanent display if you create a light box for example. I however, have left it as found.
