Description: | The snow and Christmas trees in the background suggest that the tin was intended for the Christmas market. The spots imply that the deer shown on the lid are meant to be fallow deer - though they probably also share a dash of Walt Disney's Bambi DNA too! The size of this tin, the bold border to the lid and the minimally coloured background link this tin to others such as 'White Fawn' (1960-1961), 'Golden Kingfisher' (1961-1962) and 'Seagulls' (1964). However, the deer themselves are more richly coloured than in these other examples, perhaps because this tin was made specially for Woolworths in 1964 - and produced again for mail order in 1967 - a market which required less experimental designs. | 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 environment tree snow landscape animal deer | Temporal: | start=1968-01-01; 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 |
