The Archivist x Natural History Museum: A Tribute to the Wonders of the Ocean
At Archivist, our story began in the quiet, history-filled archives of the Natural History Museum in 1998. It was there, surrounded by centuries of discovery, that our passion for print, design, and storytelling took root. Now, as we step into 2025, we honor this important chapter of our journey with an exclusive collection of matchbox designs, created in partnership with the Natural History Museum.
One of the standout pieces from this collection is a striking matchbox design inspired by The Great Barrier Reef of Australia, a remarkable publication by English marine biologist and author William Saville-Kent (1845–1908). As one of the earliest pioneers to document the stunning corals of the Great Barrier Reef, Saville-Kent’s vibrant and detailed illustrations helped introduce the world to the extraordinary marine life that thrived beneath the waves—at a time when so much about the reef remained a mystery. His work remains a testament to the beauty and importance of ocean conservation.
This exquisite matchbox design captures the spirit of Saville-Kent’s artwork, bringing a touch of history and natural beauty into your home. A timeless blend of art and functionality, our best-selling classic matchboxes are a perfect gift for any occasion—whether you’re lighting candles for a cozy evening, sparking a fire on a crisp night, or simply admiring the craftsmanship of a beautifully designed keepsake.
