Huntley & Palmer, founded in 1822, is one of Britain’s most famous biscuit companies.
This label features their famous Garter and Buckle design with rope and naval colors in 1851.

A trade card of 1878 proclaimed ‘seldom a ship sails from Britain that does not carry a Reading biscuit.’ In 1911 Scott took Huntley & Palmers biscuits on his Antarctic Expedition, and Stanley took them on his African expeditions. In 1947, the same company made a wedding cake for Queen Elisabeth II.
