A Radio Postcard Journey - 22


India produces HALF A BILLION matchboxes every single day. That's one in every three matchboxes used globally! ЁЯдп

Take a closer look at this "RADIO" matchbox art postcard. It's a fascinating glimpse into the world of Phillumeny – the art of collecting matchbox labels. These tiny canvases showcase everything from everyday objects to deities, reflecting a unique blend of modernity, tradition, and global consumerism in Indian life.

This particular postcard is part of the "A to Z Indian Matchbox Art" collection, featuring a vibrant illustration of a vintage radio. It's a testament to the creativity and artistry found in the most unexpected places.
Printed in India by Postcards Ville in 2021, this postcard is a perfect example of how something as simple as a matchbox can tell a rich story about culture and history of radio.
