Crawford Cream Crackers : reprinted courtesy of W Crawford & Sons, bakers, Edinburgh : reproduced in Penroses Annual 1935

Reproduced as a representative sample of the work of printers and publishers in the 1935 Penroses Annual is this plate showing the quality of four colour reproduction from electros by the printers W F Sedgwick Ltd and using inks from Lorilleux & Bolton Ltd. Crawford's, as a brand name, still exists but at the time of this advert they were a long established Edinburgh based bakers and biscuit manufacturers with, since the 1890s, a large site in Liverpool. The latter works was of a scale and using new technology to allow a wide range of biscuit products to be manufactured including the Cream Crackers seen here.

 

Crawford's had many distinctive designs for their tins and labels as this large tin of crackers shows.
