"Esto Brand" - 1930s food packaging labels in the Estonian Economic History Museum, Tallinn, Estonia - Eesti

Tucked away in Tallinn is the minute but fascinating (to me) Estonian Economic History Museum - and there to browse through were these wonderful publicity and staff photo albums. In many of the albums are examples of publicity and packaging, real rare survivors - and these are wonderful examples of 1930s commercial art and graphics. The show the typical products Estonia produced at the time and exported to many markets, such as the English. They included canned vegetables and fruit, and tinned pork - seen here are the "Esto Brand" cooked picnic ham, fruit compote and tinned peas.

 

I was fascinated so I hope the Museum doesn't mind me sharing this page with you all.
