Sign of the times

The inscription above this panel says 'The Valour of German Culture 1914'
A Dog's Dinner did a better job of the detail.

This can be found in Pitt Street, between Bonnington and Ferry Road. This apparently was put in when the warehouse was built in 1915 and was a piece of Anti-German propaganda. More Info.

It is falling apart, and there is a part of me that says 'let it', there is another part that is fascinated by a world where this was a legitimate and reasonable statement about the politics of the day. I mean has anything changed? The first word on the front pages after the news of Bin Laden's death broke was 'Revenge'.

I love Leith will just have to wait.
