Dutch, French & Viennese Bread Bakery – Widow E.A. Rekers

From the Art Nouveau Jugendstil font style, this sign can be dated from 1890 – 1910 – with my estimate towards the later end of this period. According to the Dutch site Winkelstories – Rekers, Wed. EA, bakery was founded in 1878. The building has a date of 1896 – which may be when it was renovated. Now Kwakman bakery. Prinsengracht 462 / Leidsestraat corner
