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 Oswald the Ostrich from the 'Muffin the Mule' series on Children's Hour.
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: | bird natural science ostrich house architecture Oswald the ostrich flower 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 |
