Mercerie, La Rochelle

What could be more normal than a ghost sign for a shop that specialised in haberdashery in Haberdashers' Street?

Mercerie
[Haberdasher's]
A very simple sign written in a dark red tone often used in the late 19th century.


This business competed directly with the one of E. Marthe a couple of hundred meters away.
