 Canal Folk Art Signwriting
Hand painted signwriting is an important ingredient within the tradition of canal boat decoration, part of the overall painted texture, regardless of what the words say.
The owner's name and home town are usually marked on either side of the cabin, and the boat's name is painted on the top plank of the hull at the stern of a horse drawn boat, or on the sides of the engine room of a motor boat.
Pushed by practice and commercial pressure it was often dashed on with a handwritten flair that suited the nature and style of the canal boat tradition very well, far better than the sophisticated skill of a regular trade signwriter, another folk art skill of the canal.
