Signage emerged as a key business identifier in England and Europe, with merchants expanding from liquids to goods in the sixteenth century. The boom in the seventeenth century made signs a major investment, sometimes spanning streets, but dangerous when signs fell, leading Parliament to ban oversized signs in 1762 and prompting merchants to adopt smaller boards.
