beautiful cat food labels in 1975

Was pleasantly shocked to discover these beautiful contemporary-looking cat food labels designed in 1975! My feelings about social media these days are borderline antagonistic but things like the original author being on twitter to respond to it makes the prolonged stay worthwhile.

Through the thread I also discovered an extensive Sainsbury archive – I really love archives and that there are people who still believe it is important to document. Reminds me of my own intention to use this website like a personal museum:
