Description:
Rare large format matchbox label of the Dutch song Orange Boven folk song. The song emphasizes the bond of the Netherlands with the Dutch royal family (the Oranges). The song Oranje boven probably finds its origin at the end of the nineteenth century, when Emma became regent of the Netherlands (1890-1898). The song continued to be used, especially in the Second World War, the song was often sung as a sign of resistance .
Designed and published in Sweden.
With the rapid growth of matchbox production at the start of the 20th century, label design became the key differential point between brands. This importance of branding acted as the catalyst to the creation of innovative and important label designs, with many influencing both the design and topography industry for years to come.
