Random Objects | angry tiger label

This is not a happy tiger - what else can I say? He's a very old label, part of a package. Apparently the designer, way back then, thought that this unhappy tiger would be the perfect image to sell the product! I think this was probably printed around the turn of the century judging by the printing technique.

Swastikas appear in vintage design all over the world and are nothing to be alarmed at. You even find swastikas on 500 year old native american bead work.
