Title: Souvenir Images of Reading, in Biscuit Shaped Cover, 1926 [Go to resource]
Description: Little booklets like this, which could be sent as a form of postcard, were produced for many British towns in the early years of the century. This one features many of the standard views of the town; the Forbury Gardens, the view from Caversham Bridge, the Abbey ruins, and so on. The envelope that goes with this example suggests that the decision to make the cover in the form of a biscuit was inspired by the centenary celebrations of 1926 - although in fact the company was already 104 years old at that date!
