Past and Present Awnings
In Ancient Rome folding, linen awnings known as ‘velariums’ were used above the seating areas in the Coliseum. But it wasn’t until 19th Century that they became a common feature on shop fronts and domestic windows. The first modern type of awning which stretched out on an ‘arm’ was invented in Paris in 1889. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecturehttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12271
