Description: | This tin was made to hold Jacob's Cream Crackers which it describes, on the base, as "The World's Best Biscuit". Shagreen was a form of untanned leather, often green, with a rough, rasping surface. The French version of of the name - 'Chagrin' - came to mean, by metaphorical extension, disgruntlement and annoyance. The world famous Jacob's Cream Crackers originate in the United States. In 1885, a member of the Jacob's family visiting America was impressed with the popularity of the 'American Soda Cracker'. This influenced him into developing a product suitable for the UK, based on techniques he had seen during his visit. | 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: | Jacob and Co. | Subjects: | non-representational logo communication decorative art | Temporal: | start=1933-01-01; end=1933-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Barringer, Wallis and Manners | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
