Title: Fantasy, 1956-1960 [Go to resource]
Description: 'Fantasy' seems an appropriate name for this strange tin, as it is difficult to find any coherence in the decorative motifs used on this tin. The gulls seem to be black-headed gulls, while the diving birds seem to be terns. What connection do such birds have with swans - which are essentially fresh-water birds? And what is one to make of the strange fish on the sides? The fact that a tin with such an odd collection of imagery was first produced in 1956 for a 3 lb iced Christmas cake, as well as for biscuits, is equally puzzling.
