close-up of a vintage matchbox label for "The Cock and Boy" safety matches, made in Japan. The label features a black and white illustration of a rooster with a cherubic figure riding on its back and blowing a horn. The label is red with a yellow border and has text that includes "WAKATAKE" and "SAFETY MATCHES". A binder clip is attached to the top of the label, which is taped or laminated and attached to a wooden surface. In the background, out of focus, are shelves with books and other items, suggesting an indoor setting like a shop or library. The scene does not contain any identifiable landmarks or contextual clues that would allow for pinpointing a specific location within New York City, United States of America.
