An old-fashioned sign used to identify a room, typically in a public building, school, government office, or shop. The black typography on a white background, framed by a blue border, along with the manufacturer's mark "P. Bernard," is typical of the utilitarian signs distributed in France during the first half of the 20th century. These sanitary and directional signs, now sought after, are appealing for their simple design and authenticity, particularly appreciated in industrial or bistro settings.
