SUMMARY:Book Launch: Melbourne Ghost Signs
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join RHSV Councilors\, staff\, volunteers\, members and friends as we celebrate the launch of Melbourne Ghost Signs\, a fascinating new book by Sean Reynolds\, our very own Marketing Officer at the Royal Historical Society of Victoria.\nThis mesmerising photographic collection captures Melbourne’s faded signs and forgotten logos\, offering glimpses into the city’s rich and ever-evolving history. From the gold rush era to the Swinging Sixties\, from brands like Robur Tea and Tarax soft drinks to hidden gems like ‘Miss Watson’s Motor Garage’ and the ‘St Kilda Coffee Palace\,’ these ghost signs preserve a piece of Melbourne’s past amidst the modern skyline. \nSean Reynolds\, originally from Illinois\, was first drawn to these phantom relics while exploring Yarraville and Footscray with his daughter during their daily lockdown outings. His keen eye unearthed a treasure trove of historical remnants\, and his passion for uncovering Melbourne’s unique past shines through in each image and accompanying story. \nAn Emmy-nominated marketing expert for shows like Ellen and TMZ\, Sean has made Melbourne his home since 2015. In his spare time\, he has embraced documenting the city’s hidden history\, one sign at a time. You can follow his journey on Instagram at @melbourne_ghostsigns. \nHousekeeping \nJoin us for an evening of nostalgia and discovery as Sean shares the stories behind these forgotten signs – some charming\, others heroic\, and a few tinged with tragedy. \nRefreshments will be served\, and as this event is in-person only– it will not be recorded or available via Zoom– we look forward to seeing you there. \nDon’t miss this chance to uncover the Melbourne you never knew\, one ghost sign at a time! \n\nThe book can be purchased and signed on the night of the event\, or you you can purchase it here. \n\n This is a History Month event. Please click on the logo for the full program.
