This large-format poster celebrates Albany’s history through a collage made from well over one hundred real Albany matchbooks. Each matchbook was scanned individually and arranged digitally to preserve the original artwork, typography, and small print. Nothing in the composition is invented or generated. Every element comes from real pieces of Albany ephemera collected over many years.
