My name is Al-Razee Anonnya, I'm much familiar with the name Robert Burns. I am a matchbox and label collector. I started collecting from March, 2018. I have around 10000 matchboxes and around 14000 labels in my collection. I am the joint secretary of Bangladesh Matchbox Collectors' Club (BMCC). BMCC frequently publishes different souvenir matchboxes on different subjects and I am also a part of this project of publishing new matchboxes as I write miniature history which are depicted on the matchboxes about the subject of those matchboxes. For the fourth international virtual exhibition organised by BMCC, I exhibit some of my matchbox labels which reflect life on different aspects. I exhibit some Swedish and Indian matchbox labels. Sweden and India are paradises for matchboxes and both of the countries have glorious history of matchboxes. Therefore I am exhibiting some labels from Sweden and India which depict colourful aspects of life. I hope you like my exhibit.
