The Boat Race Matchbox - Archivist Gallery
A boat race, but with a twist. On The Boat Race Matchbox by Archivist Gallery, a rooster, cat, dog, and bird compete against each other in small rowing boats. The illustration in red, blue, and cream has the look of an old matchbox label and is full of humorous details.
Inside are long matches with red heads, ideal for lighting candles, candelabras, or a fireplace. The colorful box can then simply be left on display – next to a candle, on the mantelpiece, or among other small objects.
Vintage look with humor
It is precisely the combination of the nostalgic graphic style and the unexpected participants in the race that makes The Boat Race so enjoyable. A rooster, cat, dog, and bird in rowing boats: at first glance it looks like vintage packaging, but on closer inspection, the depiction is quite quirky.
It also makes a great small gift. Combine the matchbox with a beautiful candle or candelabra, or give it to someone who loves animals, vintage illustrations, or unique graphic design.
Archivist Gallery's matchboxes are also fun to collect. Birds, flowers, animals, and typography: each box has its own design and together they form a colorful collection.
