Title: Golden Kingfisher, 1961-1961 [Go to resource]
Description: Several other identically sized tins were produced at around this time which similarly depict stylised images of animals against a plain coloured background, decorated with symbolic suggestions of a landscape. The lids of these tins all have a bold, but lightly decorated border. See, for example, 'Seagulls' (1964) and 'White Fawns' (1960-1961). This is perhaps the strangest of these tins. Most designs with kingfishers feature the bird's naturally brilliant colouring, but this tin dims this gorgeous bird by making them a monocolour gold.
