Title: Westminster Bridge, 1978 [Go to resource]
Description: Huntley & Palmers produced a number of tins in the 1980s which similarly draw on advertising material from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. For example see the 'Reading Tin' and the 'Rocket' tin, both from around 1989. It is ironic that this nostalgia for images derived from the heyday Huntley & Palmers and of W. Jacob's should occur at the point at which they were about to either disappear entirely as the name of an active business or become merely a brand name owned by a multinational conglomerate.
