Description: | Huntley & Palmers produced a number of tins like this one in the 1980s which drew on advertising material from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. For example, see the 'Reading Tin' and the 'Rocket' tin, both from around 1989. The original illustration used here can be found on the Huntley & Palmers website ('Miniature advert, around 1910') and comparison shows how the original has been adapted simply by adding the word 'English' above the word 'Biscuits' - otherwise the reproduction is exact. The original image came from the front of a miniature calendar of the kind that Huntley & Palmers would include in their tins as promotional gifts. On this calendar the young girl is pointing to a 'Factory Tin' and the cupboard also contains a tin of Breakfast Biscuits, one of the company's most successful ranges worldwide at the turn of the century. | 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: | interior domestic fitting environment costume shelf inscription biscuit tin domestic | Temporal: | start=1980-01-01; end=1989-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Not known | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
