- London's Victoria & Albert Museum has a collection of fruit wrappers.
No wrappers are displayed on-line. A reference to them is on the V & A web-site at:
http://www2.vam.ac.uk/features/department/
The Prints, Drawings and Paintings Department has remarkably diverse collections. They include some of the most famous and precious works of art in the country, for example the Raphael Cartoons - among the greatest cycles of Renaissance painting in the world - and, at the other extreme, everyday pieces of printed paper that you might not expect to find in a museum, such as seed packs, record sleeves, carrier bags and fruit wrappers.
- This site also has a fruit wrapper section.

Miscellaneous Links and Notes

- Barry "Wildman" Snyder's illustrated fruit label art blog is at
www.stickermanproduceart.wordpress.com
The "Almost World Renowned Food Sticker Mosaic Artist" produces reproductions of familiar works of art by using fruit labels as colours. This is something derived from pointillism, a "painting by dots" method of creating an image used by impressionist painters, especially George Seurat [type seurat into a search engine image search]. Somewhere in my house I have a book which describes a computer method of producing similar images. Several thousand thumbnail images are scanned and an average colour value is calculated for each thumbnail. Then, a much larger picture is scanned and each pixel is replaced by a thumbnail which has a similar or identical colour value. When I find the book I'll post its details here.
- Countries in which bananas are grown include the following:
Belize, Brazil, Cameroun, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ghana, Guatamala, Ivory Coast, Panama, Peru, Surinam, Venezuela
- If you have become bored by collecting fruit labels and fruit wrappers then how about collecting
elastic bands which are used in the growing and packaging of cauliflowers,
broccoli, asparagus and flowers. The cauliflower elastic bands are able to resist ultra-violet
rays from the sun for up to 14 days. Many bands are printed with brand names.
