Description: | Interestingly, almost the same view appears on the 'Westminster Abbey' tin of 1965, which was one of a series of tins produced in the mid-1960s which seem to have been designed to appeal to the tourist market. Others in the series include 'Scottish Pipe Major' (1964), 'Opening of Parliament (1964) and 'Horseguards' (1963). All of them had blue sides. In the late 1960s and early 1970s similar tins were produced, although with red sides. This phase is exemplified by tins such as the 'Scottish Scene' tin of 1968 and the 'Changing the Guard' and 'Opening of Parliament' tins from 1972. This tin, from the late 1970s, marks a return to the blue-sided design. At this date the photographs used on the lid is much glossier than those used on the first tins, which give the appearance of being retouched. | 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: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | plant religion building environment natural science tree architecture crest abbey | Temporal: | start=1977-01-01; end=1979-12-31; | 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 |
