Masala Noir + Jumbo Press

This book brings together a selection of pub matchbox labels produced
roughly between 1968 and 1989, a time when pubs in England
were a natural part of everyday life. The interest behind this collection
comes from personal memories of those places, and from the
way each one seemed to carry its own distinct identity.

Collected over time, these small printed pieces show how pubs expressed
themselves through simple logos, typography, and illustration.
Today, they stand as quiet reminders of a changing landscape,
while also offering a valuable reference for designers and collectors.
