Orange wrappers

About 200 orange wrappers from the collection of Lothar-Gunther Buchheim are on show till 26 February at the Buchheim Museum, not too far from Munich (but rather farther from London). As a collector of orange wrappers in the 1990s, I'd love to see these examples from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s - such amazingly cheerful graphics.

Alas, these humble, everyday objects are now rarely seen at the greengrocer or market.
