Title: Cannon, 1914 [Go to resource]
Description: This tin was one of the first tins with moving parts. Mounted on wheels, it commmemorates the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and features Nelson's flagship, the Victory. No doubt this celebration of British military might would have been popular in the first year of World War One, a time of patriotic fervour. It originally contained Iced Gem biscuits, a choice which seems somehow inappropriate for a tin with such a muscular theme.
