Allenburys Infant Food Jigsaw Repair 2
BCD Chairman and owner of the British Jigsaw Library David Shearer gave a lecture on renovating jigsaws, and a workshop session on the final day of the house party. On the right his worktable features the Allenbury's jigsaw and a Cinderella-like illustration jigsaw from the 1920s (is this from Powder & Crinoline, 1914 book illustrated by Kay Nielsen? - see below).
On the far left you can just see the beak of the giant bird that carried off Sinbad, in the Holtzapffel Figure-It-Out jigsaw, produced from a theatre poster.
The main subject is a card jigsaw promoting Allenbury's Infant Food, using artwork by Gladys Peto. Sometimes vintage jigsaws included a folded print of their image in the box - very helpful if you are looking to create replacement pieces using the original artwork. The lecture discussed the use of scanners in providing an exact template for a missing piece. A scanned/cloned printed artwork can sometimes be used to successfully create a missing piece of artwork, perhaps with further 'distressing' with crayons or paint.

Allenburys was a brandname of UK pharmaceutical company Allen & Hanburys, which became part of Glaxo Laboratories in 1958. The firm's roots go back to the 18thC, but it expanded greatly in the second half of the 19thC. Factories were built at Ware, Hertfordshire, and Bethnal Green in East London.
The factory at Ware specialised in infants' foods, dietetic products, medicated pastilles, malt preparations as well as galenical preparations, beginning production in 1892. The brands included Allenburys Nº1 and Nº2 foods (essentially milk foods for babies up to six months), and Allenburys Nº 3 (malted farinaceous food, six months and older). Allenburys Diet was a "stimulating beverage" for invalids, convalescents and the aged. Allenburys Rusks were a suitable first solid food for infants.
