Biscuit Tins 1868-1930
M J Franklin

A much needed reprint of the previous edition of Biscuit Tins, which is now changing hands for £150, is undoubtedly a classic. Stunningly illustrated throughout, it documents the decorative, imaginative and frequently beautiful examples of these early marriages of art and commerce: a partnership that has evolved into the multi-million pound industry of packaging and advertising that survives today. These Biscuit Tins show some of the first examples of popular art being made available through a mass-produced object.
