FactGrid:PAMCommercialLabels

The PAM Commercial Labels project aims at studying the visual representations produced according to customers's demands by the Papeteries Armoricaines et Morlaisiennes (PAM). The PAM was an important printing house located in Brest (Finistère, France). Started at the end of the 1920s, it ran for nearly a century and specialized in producing original commercial labels for shopkeepers based mainly in Brittany.
