Description: | The re-use of these images on this tin, first used in 1952, testifies to the fact they were highly admired by Huntley & Palmers tin designers. The images used are copies of paintings by Francis Wheatly R.A. Wheatly's paintings were engraved by Giovanni Vendramini (1769 - 1839) and were published between 1792 and 1796. There were twelve pictures in the series. This version recasts the 1967-1968 'Cries of London' tin, retaining the shape but returning to the cream background of the 1952 tin, recolouring the images and moving/replacing some of them. It also replaces the decorative motif on the front face with the image of the ballad seller. The date is somewhat uncertain. The Museum of Reading copy is dated 1969, but a paper design exists which has the date 3.5.1973. The tin originally contained cream biscuits and wafers. | 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: | carriage trade transport donkey grinder basket costume street scene childhood dog vegetable animal | Temporal: | start=1973-01-01; end=1973-12-31; | 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 |
