| Summary | "Histoire des Enseignes de Paris" by Edouard Fournier is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the origins, significance, and evolution of shop signs in Paris, revealing their cultural context and the regulations governing them across different eras. It promises a detailed exploration of how these signs have reflected societal changes and artistic styles throughout history. The opening of the text introduces the author's dedication and preface, which provide insight into Fournier's motivations and the long history of his research into the subject. It highlights the fact that the book was intended to culminate twenty years of work, but was left uncompleted due to Fournier's untimely death. In detailing the project's challenges, the preface explains how previous attempts to study teaching signs lacked thoroughness, indicating the unique contribution that Fournier's work aims to make in the field of Parisian archéologie. The introduction also begins to lay the groundwork for understanding the ancient roots of signs, touching upon their existence in various civilizations, including Egypt and Rome, thereby framing the signs not just as decorative elements but as vital components of urban life and commerce.
