Description: | A 'Cries of London' tin using these images was first produced in 1952. The earlier tin was caddy-shaped and not so brightly coloured. The images on these tins 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. The strawberry seller is holding her supply of strawberries in the basket on her head, while holding some empty pottles in her right hand. When a customer asks for some strawberries, she fills up the pottles from her large basket. The other picture on the lid is 'Hot Spice Gingerbread'. Hot spiced gingerbread was one of the most popular sweets of the time. A third version of this tin was produced in 1969 or 1973. The 'Old Masters' tin of 1975 uses the same shaped tin, divided into picture panels, against a post-box red background. | 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: | Francis Wheatley trade Giovanni Vendramini horse basket costume street scene barrel domestic wheel barrow animal linen | Temporal: | start=1967-01-01; end=1968-12-31; | 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 |
