1930s colour printing technique : Macfarlane, Lang's Afternoon Tea Biscuits Assortment

From a 1930s printers almanac showing examples of colour separation and printing as being used for high quality advertising. This image demonstrated the Vivex Clour Process system as produced via three-colour blocks by Gee & Watson.

 

The selection still looks delicious! Macfarlane, Lang were origianlly a Glasgow company who had built a large bakery in the est of the city, the Victoria Biscuit Works, and had also expanded as a national brand and opened an additional works in Osterley, west London.
