Title: Tiger, 1968 [Go to resource]
Description: A nicely executed image of a resting tiger, the curve of the animal's shoulders neatly mirroring the shape of the tin. Why a tiger? Perhaps the designer wanted to cash-in on the huge popularity of Walt Disney's film of the 'Jungle Book', released the year before, which featured the tiger Shere Khan, memorably voiced by George Sanders. 'White Cats', another tin from the 1960s, uses the same curved shape, although in this case the image is of two fluffy, green-eyed kittens - quite a contrast with this regal beast.
