The archives of the Natural History Museum are where Archivist’s story first began, over 30 years ago, with a range of greeting cards created in collaboration with the museum. Now, diving back into those archives once again, we’ve joined forces to design a collection of matchboxes that showcase their remarkable array of artworks — a vibrant celebration of the natural world.
