1926 Jacobs Biscuits tin toy packaging, Thames Houseboat Waterwitch
A Jacobs Biscuit tin in the form of a houseboat, its aspirational lifestyle graphics depicting the houseboat “Waterwitch”. This litho graphic is from 1926 and all about selling added value, when the biscuits had been eaten it became a floating toy for the bath tub.
Decamping to your houseboat was an essential part of the season during Henley week for the Great and Good. Butler, maids, footmen even the children's nurse were all part of the required entourage.
