Re: [Cz-L] Design and material of the plaque

Dear all,

Etchings go very much against my personal taste. But as I wrote
earlier this summer, they are very much part of the urban iconography
of Chernivtsi and if we want the plaque to be noticed, I believe we
should have the etching o fPopovici's portrait or another symbolic
representation,

best,


Marianne
