Step into the fast-moving world of 1930s transportation advertising with the latest release in an all-new Maxbox Matchbox series.
Discovered inside a large book of original vintage labels found at a flea market, these remarkable designs felt too special to remain hidden away. Unlike my traditional tightly arranged matchbox collages, this new collection embraces a more spontaneous, layered “slapdash” composition — echoing the motion, noise, and visual overload of old bus depots, service stations, airports, and roadside America.
This piece brings together beautifully illustrated transportation-themed labels featuring vintage airlines, Greyhound-style bus travel, motor oil, car services, gasoline brands, automotive products, and roadside travel culture — transforming classic travel ephemera into bold graphic art. The result is a nostalgic tribute to a time when transportation companies relied on striking illustration, typography, and color to capture the imagination of travelers across America.
Rich with vintage charm, industrial color palettes, and Americana character, this piece is both a conversation starter and statement artwork — a fresh new way to appreciate the artistry of antique advertising and travel culture.
Printed on high-quality glossy paper and available in A2, A1, and dramatic A0 sizes, with multiple framing options available, this debut piece launches a brand new product line for collectors, design lovers, travel enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to nostalgic ephemera.
A bold statement piece from the golden age of advertising.
