A vintage matchbox label design. A bold stylised tiger in three flat inks of vermilion, black and mustard on cream paper, framed by a simple decorative rule border with small corner ornaments. Simplified drawing built to read at four centimetres wide, slight off register printing, uneven ink on thin absorbent paper. The label artwork fills the frame.
