Matchbook Art Edited by Scott Russo

In the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, paper matchbooks were a universal advertising medium, employed by bars, restaurants, plumbers, laundries, clothing stores, and other local businesses. With its crisp fonts and diminutive illustrations, novelty matchbook art perfectly conveys the character of that smoke-filled era. Assembled from hard-to-find salesmen’s samples, this book and CD-ROM set features hundreds of examples from the major designers and manufacturers of the period.
