Title: African boys, about 1903 [Go to resource]
Description: Huntley & Palmers' distinctive trade mark, the garter and buckle, was devised in 1851 by Owen Jones and soon became recognised throughout the world. As this image shows, Huntley & Palmers' tins were sometimes as highly prized as their contents. In 1906 South Africa accounted for 6.8% of the company's overseas trade and the rest of Africa for 11.7%, making the whole African continent the second most important market after the Far East for Huntley & Palmers.
