Title: Huntley & Palmers Christmas Biscuits and Cakes Catalogue, 1908 [Go to resource]
Description: As can be seen from the illustrations in this catalogue, at this date Huntley & Palmers cakes were almost as elaborately crafted as their tins. Someone has written the prices of the cakes onto the catalogue. The most expensive are the 'Blenheim' and 'Iced Almond' cakes, which are priced at 24 shillings. The Christmas Cake is priced at 1/6d per pound which, given that it is clearly the largest on offer, probably made it even more of a luxury item than these two. The cheapest fancy cakes are 10 shillings. The 'Harvest' tin is described as having "a decoration representing carved ivory and ebony". The 'Satchel' tin is described as "a reproduction of a lizard leather bag".
