This wall ad has usually been occupied by Marc Jacobs. Apparently they are building yet another hi-rise in the Village and this wall has been scraped to the brick exposing some of the underlying ads from who knows when.

As the facade of 17 East 13th St. gets stripped away for a renovation, this antique sign has been revealed. I fear it will soon head for the dumpster, but it’s nice to see. The other fading sign on the building, Erskine Press, may survive. I hope.  - Don Willmott
