Description: | From the 1950s television began to affect aspects of life in England and the design of biscuit tins did not escape its influence. This tin shows Peregrine from the 1950s childrens television programme 'Muffin the Mule'.
Many similar children's tins were produced over a long period of time, at least eleven of which showed characters from this series. Eight of these tins in the Museum of Reading's collection are illustrated on this website, the three others not shown are Louise the Lamb, Peter the Pup and Zebbie the Zebra. This one is not illustrated in any catalogue, but the tins in the Museum of Reading collection are labelled as being from 1954 and the copyright date is 1949. | 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: | natural science tree Peregrine the Penguin penguin costume spectacle flower hat animal | Temporal: | start=1954-01-01; end=1954-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Huntley, Boorne & Stevens | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
