Domino (U.S.A.) / c. 1927
Corporate background:
Founded in 1924, the Domino label lasted to
1933.
Design: The
style of clown's costume at the top, known as
‘Domino,’ is often used for fancy dress balls in
France (thanks to Fred Turgis for the info).
It appears in negative fashion because of
the effect of printing a light colour on a dark background.
Note the delicate floral outer border,
reminiscent of the decoration to be seen on gypsy caravans.
