Jump’s Ghost Signs
Frank Jump has been photographing and collecting the ghost signs of New York City since 1997. Most recently, he published many of his photos, along with essays, in the excellent book Fading Ads of New York City. This Sunday, March 18, he leads a walking tour of the ghost signs of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, beginning with a talk at Word bookstore.
I asked Frank some questions about his work and the upcoming tour. READ MORE!
Fading Ads of Greenpoint Walking Tour | WORD | Sunday, March 18th @ 2PM
Fading Ads of Greenpoint Walking Tour
Start: 03/18/2012 2:00 pm
Timezone: America/New York
126 Franklin St.
Brooklyn, New York
11222-2002
United States
Get a glimpse into Greenpoint’s history with a walking tour, led by author and photographer Frank Jump. For nearly 20 years, Jump has been documenting the fading ads that are visible, but less often seen, all over New York. Disappearing from the sides of buildings or hidden by new construction, these signs tell the stories of the businesses, places and people whose lives transpired among them.
New York City is eternally evolving. From its iconic skyline to its side alleys, the new is perpetually being built on the debris of the past. But a movement to preserve the city’s vanishing landscapes has emerged. They weave together the city’s unique history, culture, environment and society and tell the stories of the businesses, places and people–the story of New York itself. This photo-documentary is also a study of time and space, of mortality and living, as Jump’s campaign to capture the ads mirrors his own struggle with HIV. Experience the ads–shot with vintage Kodachrome film–and the meaning they carry through acclaimed photographer and urban documentarian Frank Jump’s lens.
During the walking tour and book-signing, Jump will offer a glimpse into Greenpoint’s commercial advertising history through remnant fading ads. Don’t let the tour leave without you! We’ll be meeting at the store at 2 p.m., where Frank will introduce the book and give us an overview for the walk, and then we’ll head out at 2:30 p.m. Rain or shine! (If it rains, we’ll have a virtual slideshow tour at WORD instead.) Facebook RSVP appreciated!

M.H. Koski, Inc. – Loans – Chesterfield Cigarettes Ad – Brooklyn Eagle Want Ads “Ask For Miss Turner” – Clinton Hill, Brooklyn – A Brownstowner Find!
© Frank H. Jump
A few weeks ago, the billboard that’s hung on the side of the bodega at Grand and Putnam avenues was taken down to reveal this old painted advertisement for M.H. Koski. As it turns out, the old-school pawn shop use to be headquartered in this very location, according to a Brooklyn Eagle ad from May 24, 1946 promoting “liberal loans on diamonds-jewelry and personal property.” If the shop had only stuck it out until the corner became a hotbed of the drug trade in the 70′s and 80′s it could have really cashed in.
