Description: | A neat, cleverly designed tin. The various labels turn out not to be hotel labels but, on closer inspection, various kinds of biscuit. One kind, advertised on the lid, is the 'Cuddy Biscuit', an unsweetened type which also, interestingly, features on the 'All Over the World' advertising sheet of 1900. Huntley & Palmers were proud of the fact that their biscuits travelled to all the corners of the world, a fact subtly underlined by this tin. The title of the tin may also be intended to allude to the Orient Line, which started in the 1870s and was a prominent carrier of both people and goods all over the British Empire. 30,000 copies of this tin were made. | 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: | trunk costume accessories object recreation | Temporal: | start=1899-01-01; end=1900-12-31; | 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 |
