Ghost mural

A fading ghost mural saying "C.V. Woninginrichting P.P.W. Randoe" and "Randoe is stijl" on a wall at the Gierstraat in Haarlem. Searching for more information I found several old newspaper clippings from the 1940s and 1950s that contained adds by Randoe, who was a home furnisher.
"C.V." stands for "Commanditaire Vennootschap" (Limited partnership business entity) I think?

Participating in Monday Mural.

    A great memory for the ones who knew this furniture store! And the skylight you show in your post below of the skylight in the museum is stunning!
    Just a reminder- hope you'll be a part of SEASONS this week with one of your beautiful images. The photo link is open Monday - Wednesday till 7pm, US Pacific time. Hope to see you there - and have a wonderful week!

    Fascinating how they outlast the business that put them there. We have some of them as well.

    Leuk dat het na zo lange tijd nog zichtbaar is. In sommige oude steden zie je ze soms nog inderdaad.

    It's always exciting to find these ghost signs Marleen, left overs from times gone by!

    Isn't it amazing that this ghost sign has survived all this time. By doing so, it deserves to be preserved. Good catch. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
