Description: | This is the reverse of the leaflet.
This is an advertisement for Johnson's fluid beef. John Lawson Johnson was a Scottish butcher with an interest in food chemistry. He followed the ‘Abstinence’ movement and did not drink alcohol and this encouraged him to develop a non-alcoholic beverage. In 1873 he patented his ‘Fluid Beef’. It was advertised as a beverage to be made with hot water and was a great success. He opened a factory in London in 1886 and by this time the extract was in a more concentrated form and he named it Bovril. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Food And Drink People And Society Trade And Economics | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
