The obsessing over signage by all people and institutions in May of 1660 is so fascinating and so relatable and explains why so many English pubs are the King’s Arms. What quicker, surer way to reassure people of your loyalty to the new King? Signs and symbols matter because we use them to be noticed by others who we know will know what we meant by them. They are equivalent to the nod of the head from one local to another as he enters the pub. Bonne nuit et grands mercis 🕯️
