Title: The Traveller, mid 1930s [Go to resource]
Description: The same picture is used on an oval tin produced for Macfarlane Lang and Company in 1936 called 'Coaching Days'. Peter Hornsby says that this rectangular version was re-issued with the somewhat enigmatic title 'The Motto Box' in 1939 (Decorated Biscuit Tins, Schiffer, 1984, p. 126). This scene was obviously thought to make a successful biscuit tin, with its Dickensian characters and sense of a narrative, with the viewer left to supply the 'before' and 'after' that frame the incident.
