Mackó

Sent by Micu (Hungary)

Some facts about this handmade postcard make me love it:
  • The addition of the little piece of fabric that makes it original and realistic.
  • The portions are incredibly big: 33g!
  • It is a new brand (for me, of course). I don't know how this word is pronounced in Hungarian, but in my language maco means 'beautiful'. And the bear looks very elegant, don't you agree?
  • By the way... Why in Hungary they like so much bears appearing in cheese boxes?
  • The illustration uses the recursion as well as the VQR illustrations do. Mise en abyme or recursion or Droste effect is an artistic technique in which a image contains a smaller copy of itself, in a sequence appearing to recur infinitely. In theory, of course. Practically it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows. But we can imagine bear-waiters forever...

Collage made by John. He added in the back the picture of the old boxes. The cow was slightly different, the portions were just 6 in each box (so bigger!) and what I love is specially the slogan: Bel et Bon (='Beautiful and good', but Bel is also the name of the brand).


Ah, and don't forget to look at these cowstamps!



Rectangular boxes


Rectangular boxes? Square portions? What a silly idea! At least, they drew a happy cow on the box...
