I first came across Czech match labels when I was in that shop in Prague. Like stamp designers of certain countries (notably Switzerland, USSR and the UK) Czech designers seem to have embraced the opportunitiy to design on a small scale with many of the labels displaying dynamic compositions. There are, of course, plenty of duff designs too. Like stamps, these labels were used to celebrate events and inform the public. Printed with spot inks onto low grade, very thin paper, the colours have a beautiful saturated quality.As the numbered title suggests, I'll post more examples as time goes by.
