- inactive, on 04/18/2008, -0/+8Lets not forget that this is Paris we're talking about. A place filled to the brim with art, sculptures and antiquities.
I think they can afford to go without a few rotting posters. - vine, on 04/18/2008, -1/+7Maybe it's just me, but the photographer did an awful job of recording the art. It does it no justice...
- RAEP, on 04/18/2008, -0/+5Seriously. They must be running out of money with all the stuff they are already restoring or preserving.
- grrad, on 04/18/2008, -1/+6How can anyone let this glimpse of the past be destroyed! It's tragic that there seems to be no interest in preserving any of it.
- yndy, on 04/18/2008, -0/+4Okay seriously - I read the article and thought "how tragic!!" then went and looked at the pictures of the described work and thought "um, not quite what was written" - the 1942 'movie poster' was little more than shreds of what was once there... not even enough that a collector would be interested.
There's preserving history - then there's cleaning up the trash that was left someplace decades ago. - inactive, on 04/18/2008, -0/+4and one can unfortunately give much more examples of such attitude!
- inactive, on 04/18/2008, -0/+3Literally, they are. The Louvre has started taking foreign investment from the Middle East in order to pay for the costs of upkeep.
- Nerfdude, on 04/18/2008, -0/+3um, helvetica was created in 1957. so half of what's been photographed for this article is about 50 years old or less. and it's all advertisements. i don't think this is a horrible loss.
- feliphe, on 04/18/2008, -1/+3I was expecting more pictures :-(
- bays, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1reminds me of faile's work. a precursor to it maybe

- hillerman, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1The only thing in helvetica in those pictures is the George V sign in picture 16.
- hillerman, on 04/18/2008, -1/+1You wouldn't be a horrible loss. The only thing in helvetica in those pictures is the "George V" sign in picture 16.
- inactive, on 04/18/2008, -4/+3O well nothing is forever - better get rid of it soon before vain art hippies start crying over it.
- inactive, on 04/18/2008, -7/+0Art? How about vandalism? That seems more accurate.
