In praise of reading

I actually thought this was a mural when I photographed it but now see it’s hung on the brick wall, either as public art or as an advertisement for the Warby Parker optical shop. Either way, I really liked it.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

I just love it - especially its message! V

They are selling glasses, but the artwork suggests that glasses aren't necessary.

A fitting mural for a glasses store. I like the colorful mural with the inclusion of the store. V

A decreasingly popular pastime, unfortunately. At least a n the traditional sense.

I can't "see" (sorry, bad pun) the link to optics, but it is an attractive painting.
