Title: Kingfisher, 1968 [Go to resource]
Description: This tin was produced for mail order and is not found in any catalogue. A Peek Frean tin of about 1939 also shows a kingfisher in flight and makes an interesting comparison with this one. The orange of the reedbeds in the background is used to highlight the vivid blue of the kingfisher. The designer of the Huntley & Palmers tin seeks to show his skill by the careful deliniation of the kingfishers red breast feathers in the blue water.
