D S Crawford's of Edinburgh - Union Assorted Biscuits - box label designed by Robert Burns - 1924
In the mid-1920's Crawford's of Edinburgh (this being D.S. Crawford's the bakery shops) commissioned some fine packaging and labelling. This, for Union Assorted, makes play on the devices of the major dominions - Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa as well as the 'mother country'. It seems a strange cross between the "Empire Exhibtion" style (of 1924) and the Empire Marketing Board.
