Old Tavern Signs

By Fritz Endell

For a sign! as indeed man, with his singular imaginative faculties, can do little or nothing without signs.CarlyleThe author's love of the subject is his only apology for his bold undertaking. First it was the filigree quality and the beauty of the delicate tracery of the wrought-iron signs in the picturesque villages of southern Germany that attracted his attention; then their deep symbolic significance exerted its influence more and more over his mind, and tempted him at last to follow their history back until he could discover its multifarious relations to the thought and feeling of earlier generations.
