Product Details:

• The Archivist journey began in 1998 down in the archives of the Natural History Museum and is an element of our past that we are incredibly proud to celebrate. In 2025, we pay homage to this crucial part of our beginnings by releasing a range of matchbox designs that have been made in collaboration with the Natural History Museum.

• This design has been inspired by the artworks featured within the publication The Great Barrier Reef of Australia by William Saville-Kent. Saville-Kent (1845-1908) was an English marine biologist and author who moved to Australia, where he set about collecting, drawing, and painting the remarkable corals of the great barrier reef, the biology of which were little understood at that time.
