Man Ray made a number of matchboxes mounted with photographs of many of his well-known images (of which 25 are known). Some were used by the artist to store small items in his rue Férou studio, others were offered as gifts to visitors to the studio when they asked for a light for their cigarette.

Collection of the Centre Pompidou, Paris, accessioned in 1994.
