Title: Universal Exhibition in Paris, 1867 [Go to resource]
Description: Joseph Leete, Huntley & Palmers' Continental Representative, persuaded Samuel Palmer to spend £1350 on the expenses for the Exhibition. The industrial designer, Owen Jones, was commissioned to produce a perspective drawing of the Reading factory. De La Rue's, the London printing firm responsible for many of the firm's biscuit tin labels, produced some bold new designs that for the first time used the sides and the top of biscuit tin. Napolean and Leopold biscuits were specially produced for the exhibition with labels using the French and Belgian tricolours as their background.
