Plaque

(lost) Bradbury & Evans

Inscription

Site of Bradbury & Evans, printer and publisher of Dickens and Thackeray, 1847 - 1900.
City of London

Oh, dear, what is happening to the City plaques? This one looks really cheap, and the letter spacing is dreadful: Br A Dbury, Dick Ens, Th Acker Ay? We've seen better lettering on handwritten notices in the local newsagents.
