The
middle of the nineteenth century saw an explosion in advertising and
consumer spending among the middle classes. Packaging was one of many
ways to appeal to the new shopper. Biscuit tins were one of the most
discreet ways of advertising rarely showing the company name or the
product enclosed in a prominent position. As such they survived well as
ornaments and useful storage boxes in many homes. This book will provide
an introduction to the subject covering design, decorative techniques
and the companies who made and sold biscuit tins.
