Carr and Co. Juvenile Biscuit Tin

Title

Carr and Co. Juvenile Biscuit Tin

Description

1890? Carr and Co. Juvenile Biscuit Tin. Five numbered scenes from FC with rhyming verses. Carlisle, GB. 3" square by 4⅝". £22 from wickedlady, Yorkshire, UK, through eBay, Nov., '05.

This cookie tin is highly corroded and so hard to read. The cover picture, first in the series, has a mother crow visiting a dairy to find food for her children. She then flies into a tree with a piece of cheese in her beak. The fifth and final scene may be the most dramatic: the fox runs away as the fox flies away. The art is nicely done, even through the darkening and discoloration.
