Peek Frean's Playbox biscuits were marketed as a treat for children, and this advertisement puts a teddy bear and a scatter of toys at the center of the scene rather than the biscuit itself. The London firm Peek Frean was among the best-known British biscuit makers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and its packaging and posters often appealed to nursery life and playtime. Notice how the toys are arranged to suggest a tin opened on the floor of a child's room, a common strategy of the era for linking a brand with comfort and fun.
