Title: Advertising leaflet, 1890s [Go to resource]
Description: The use of tins enabled Huntley & Palmers biscuits to be exported across the world and in particular to the British colonies. By 1874 they boasted, 'seldom a ship sails from England that does not bear within his ribs a Reading biscuit'. At home Huntley & Palmers exploited their international fame. This leaflet depicts four women dressed in different national costumes welcoming a ship named 'Reading'. It shows the way the name of Reading's was known all over the world through the export of its products.
