An old advertisement for Byrrh or what's left of it near Chantiers train station. There's a small heart on Artsy Versailles.
J'adore ces vieilles pubs, ici pour Byrrh près de la gare de Chantiers. Il y a un petit coeur sur Artsy Versailles.

comme toi, j'aime bien ces vieilles publicites peintes sur les grands murs. J'aimais celle dans le metro "du dubo dubonnet";))
ReplyDeleteI love ghost signs like this. Makes me happy to find a new one.
ReplyDeleteUnusual contrast the right side of the building looks new,
ReplyDeleteVery nice find and your sky is so blue. Unlike our smoke filled one.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful photograph. I love the vagueness of the add next to the angularity of the architecture.
ReplyDeleteI think old painted signs like this are cool. The flue's coming out of the chimneys looks like an old cartoon.
ReplyDeleteI find old weathered signs fascinating, a reflection of distant times. Wonderful angles in your image too :^)
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful shot, Ciel. The deep blue sky, orange circle and red trim along with your excellent composition!! Really good shot.

So what kind of product was it? (I must be too lazy to click the link.) The name sounds like something you would say in English when you are very cold.
ReplyDeleteI like bfarr's phrase, "ghost signs." I like them, too. This is how old? 80, 90, 100 years? And in that time no one found it necessary or worthwhile painting over it? That is pretty interesting, isn't it? By the way, the sharp angles on the building to the right are kind of nice.
ReplyDeleteA nice reminder of days gone by.
ReplyDeleteI found the tiny heart on the shutters...loved the railing, that wroughtiron is very pretty...the old sign in contrast is effective! You are so observant!
ReplyDeleteJ'aime! en plus maintenant , on voit rarement des grandes surfaces planes sur lesquelles peindre comme ça..
ReplyDelete(word verif: paresse! :)
I also love 'ghost signs' but it's a pity this one is so faded, I guess it must have been truly eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteQuel charme et quelle allure ces vieilles reclames!
ReplyDeleteDommage on ne peut plus lire le reste...
Such a clear, crisp shot Ciel, that sky is the most beautiful blue ever!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that but I love this kind of vintage advertising.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad there's not more left. I love those old advertisements.
ReplyDeleteOld and new together.
ReplyDeleteAren't those old ads just beautiful?
ReplyDeletemoi je suis comme toi et je pense qu'on devrait les restaurer
ReplyDeleteI find these faded old signs sort of like silent echoes from the past.
ReplyDeleteCieldequimper...is that your NAME?
ReplyDelete--grin!
Came here from MAGPIE's "In Over My Head, just curious. And...what I find is a most attractive blog, pictures, personality-plus, MUSIC so serene, and information.
Not trying to acquire another 'follower' or anything. Just dropped by to say "Hello" and I WILL be BACH! (Punchline to a musical joke--I'm a violinist!)
Thank you.
PEACE!

I love faded advertisement like this.
