The article highlights the works of lettering historian, Nicolete Gray, and her documented photographs that depict the graphical details and characteristics of the city of Lisbon, Portugal. Gray has collected various examples of lettering, signing and other information systems which create a form of a scenic display of places which reflect the well practiced photographic instinct of the artist. It also presents Gray's photograph collection of the city in the 1960s wherein it was being preserved at the Central Lettering Record (CLR) in a photographic teaching archive which has begun in London, England's Central School of Arts and Crafts in 1963.
