Default A Mecca Cigarette ghost sign

.....a faded 1910 Mecca sign painted on the side of a building on East 70th Street and York Avenue, NYC, likely a with similar consequence as the following sign.


The second sign is a Mecca Cigarette sign also painted in 1910, subsequently painted over with a Cola Cola advertisement. As the top paint wears away over time it reveals the older painting. The reappearance of a painting of an underlying image that has been painted over is called a pentimento.

This Coca-Cola and Mecca pentimento is on a building on the corner of Bleeker and Carmine Streets, NYC.
