520 _a"Old Tavern Signs: An Excursion in the History of Hospitality" by Fritz Endell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the thematic and cultural significance of tavern signs throughout history, delving into their connection to hospitality as well as broader social customs. Endell's investigation traces the rich symbolism behind the signs, revealing how they reflect the values and practices of earlier generations. At the start of the book, the author introduces the concept of hospitality, linking it to the earliest human experiences, citing the biblical story of Adam and Eve as they enter an inhospitable world. Endell discusses how signs have historically embodied meanings of hospitality and comfort, serving as both invitations and symbols of welcome for travelers in ancient and medieval societies. He cites various examples from literature and visual art that depict these themes and emphasizes a cultural tradition where offering shelter to strangers was considered a divine duty, laying the foundation for the exploration of tavern signs in subsequent chapters.
