Description: | The exact year of publication of this splendidly produced catalogue is unclear. There are editorial marks and comments on each page of illustrations suggesting that this particular copy was used to prepare a revised edition. Two of the illustrated pages have been reproduced here. One shows a selection of their paper-covered tins from this period. Although not as expensively produced as the ornamental tins for Christmas, they still make an attractive display. 'Huntley & Palmers patent Meat Wafers made with Liebig's Extract of Beef' is a curious and rare specimen. This variety does not seem to have lasted long in production, although here they are marked with a tick. Strangely, other varieties marked 'out' - 'Ice Wafers, for example - had a long production history. Presumably, the deletions do not represent cessation of production, but simply that the subsequent catalogue does not feature the same illustration. The other page shows the richest biscuits that Huntley & Palmers had to offer at this period. Interestingly, none of them are chocolate covered, or even seem to feature chocolate as an ingredient. It is unclear whether the biscuit called 'Coffee' was coffee flavoured or simply intended to accompany coffee. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | social history trade advertising tin biscuit | Temporal: | start=1890-01-01; end=1900-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
