Title: Christmas Advertising Leaflet, 1906 [Go to resource]
Description: The illustration on the front of this leaflet shows a public school boy opening a hamper largely stuffed with Huntley & Palmers biscuits. The rear of this colourful sheet lists cakes, biscuits and also the novelty tins which were made for the year's seasonal market - 'Fame', 'Viking' and 'Syrian' ("filled with Christmas biscuits"). The original art work for this leaflet exists and can be seen on the website. From the original drawing we learn that the artist was Charles Pears - and that the schoolboy may be a real person. See 'Original Art for 1906 Christmas Leaflet'.
