Description: | Huntley & Palmers, like other manufacturers, were very fond of tins which imitate rows of books or individual books. Examples of the first kind made by Huntley & Palmers include the 'Library' tin of 1900 and the ingenious 'Literature' tin of 1901. They produced a plain, single book tin in 1924 (called, appropriately, 'Book') and, unusually, an individual book tin called 'Good King Wenceslas' in 1913, which shows the book open to two pages of illuminated manuscript (unfortunately the Museum of Reading does not have a version of this tin). All of these later versions, however, derive from this Peek Frean's tin, which was the first to use the conceit of imitating a book. Like other subsequent versions it proved very popular and was produced for twelve years. | 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: | Peek Frean | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | book library costume object | Temporal: | start=1895-01-01; end=1907-12-31; | 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 |
