The Heart
A vivid red heart sits at the center of scrolling banners that read “THE HEART / SAFETY MATCHES” with “MADE IN SWEDEN” in the sash and TRADE – MARK flanking the cartouche. Curled vine corners, bold black lettering, and the red‑black‑cream palette are classic hallmarks of Swedish export labels from the early 20th century. After Sweden perfected the “safety match,” makers issued dozens of pictorial trademarks—animals, tools, symbols—so buyers anywhere could recognize a brand at a glance. This Heart label is one of those universal emblems, enlarged here from pocket size to a crisp, frame‑ready print.
