With its rectangular and pocket-friendly form, matchboxes plastered with advertisements once offered an affordable and portable means of marketing. This collection of over 350 covers from Singaporeâ each reproduced true to sizeâ captures the city-stateâ s colourful modernisation during the 1970s to 1990s. An accompanying essay on the history of matchbox production in Singapore, along with seven curated themes, reveals the many meanings and cultures emblazoned on each design. |
