Description: | This tin was produced to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The sides are decorated with scenes of royal homes and Westminster Palace together with Commonwealth shields. The portrait was reproduced from an original black and white photograph by Karsh of Ottawa. The base of this tin is made out of aluminium due to the shortage of materials after the Second World War. This was the first tin made by Huntley, Boorne & Stevens since the conclusion of the war - in 1952 the government had released an extra quota of tinplate to make coronation souvenirs. | 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: | Queen Elizabeth II natural science uniform queen crown royalty architecture furniture domestic heraldry portrait Prince Phillip gems and jewellery coat of arms duke arms and armour castle palace | Temporal: | start=1953-01-01; end=1953-12-31; | 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 |
