Laughing Elephant

Here we reproduce 20 labels from vintage fireworks packaging, most from Indian and Chinese fireworks. Fireworks are ephemeral, vibrant and festive, and their packaging reflects this. Both of these countries have long and rich traditions of fireworks manufacture and display. Some of the imagery is fireworks related, some is not, but all of the labels are bright, lively and capture something of the exuberance of the products they celebrate.
