Title: Shakespeare, 1958 [Go to resource]
Description: The intricate patterning and rich colouring of the borders on this tin recall the tins produced in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. As does its subject - Shakespeare. Huntley & Palmers produced a 'Shakespeare' tin between 1912 and 1914, which similarly presented famous scenes from the plays on the sides. In 1933 they produced a 'Verona' tin which featured a scene from 'The Two Gentleman of Verona' on the lid. The image of Shakespeare used here is a touched-up version of the Droeshout engraving, from the title page to the First Folio, published 1623. Shakespeare's coat of arms also feature on the lid.
