Graffiti Follow-Up

I had to find it again, but a couple of years ago I ran across this amazing website, called Graffiti Archaeology, which has matched photos of various locations and the evolution of the graffiti found there. It is truly amazing. Check it out!

There is one photo series in particular that is a train tunnel. The first photo taken in 1949 shows a train actually coming through it. Through the years it is fenced, then walled, all the while being covered in graffiti. A few pictures even depict some of the culprits/artists. Amazing stuff.
