Indian Matchbox Lebels

Lavanaya with Matchbox album
This matchbox photo album is one of the biggest collection with more than 1900 Indian matchbox labels. These were collected during 1983-1994 from different cities of India. The area focused were streets, railway and bus stations, public places and garbage cans. All the matchbox labels are different from each other in respect of pictures/printed text matter. My father Dr. R.S. Kanaujia is the key person who is behind this collection. Me, my younger brother Sankalp Verma and my sis Ruchira Singh have played a supportive role for making this album fabulous. This album is dedicated to my brother Sankalp Verma who is missing since June 2004.
