I was in the city taking some photos today and i noticed that the old agfa ad that was above stalactites on Lonsdale and Russell has been replaced with a newer billboard. Havent been in in a few months so not sure when it happened.
 
A bit late with Agfa retreating from the consumer market 14 years ago...
 
Yeah, it was an old ad that just wasn't torn down. I found a shot of it that I'll scan soon but i dont think i ever took a colour one.
 
Such ads are typically very interesting, morsels from the past. I even know of a wall-painted ad that is protected as monument.

And the Gevaert signing at an Agfa exhaust stack is protected too.
 
Here we go. Not sure why I never bothered taking a colour photo. Even with my phone.
 
Sorry to hear it has gone. Last time I saw it was only about a month ago. Thanks for posting that picture of it.
 
I am a bit disappointed, I expected something older. This illuminated ad is only 24 years old.

(But I admit, I have not seen a box included over here.)
 
And such box from the ad would make a nice garden shed...
 
From the thread title, I thought AGFA was advertising in a cave.
 
Maybe they turn it into a branch store...
