A very small, portable devotional prayer book in very good condition. These miniature books were immensely popular in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras (late 19th and early 20th centuries) for people with acute eyesight and bright gas mantles. They were considered a triumph of printing technology and were often bound in fine leather with gilt edges and presented as gifts, sometimes featuring personalized silver plaques or inscriptions dated around the turn of the century. The practicality of printing hundreds of pages of tiny text in a book less than half an inch thick relied heavily on the use of ultra-thin, yet opaque, "India paper" (a precursor to modern Bible paper). This allowed a 500+ page book to remain incredibly slim and lightweight.

Pattisons was run by brothers Robert and Walter Pattison, who had inherited it from their father, and it enjoyed spectacular growth in the 'whisky boom' of the late 19th century. It ran into serious financial difficulites and collapsed in 1899 as a result of fraud and serious mismanagement by the two brothers, both of whom subsequently served prison sentences.

WorldCat locates three copies worldwide (Oxford, Delaware, and Occidental College University Libraries). This ephemeral work was designed as a small, foldable Christmas card, highlighting detailed, intimate illustrations. This scarcity makes it a desirable collector's item. The content features charming illustrations of "imaginary shop fronts," evoking a sense of nostalgia, similar to the branding of the "Quality Street" chocolates which aimed for a sentimental, old-fashioned feel. The name Quality Street came from a play written by J.M. Barrie, who would later go on to write children's classic Peter Pan. The original project started at a lunch meeting in 1986, where Powers was commissioned for other prints, and the Christmas card idea was developed as a creative use of an offcut from the standard-sized paper, demonstrating an efficient and innovative use of materials.

The canning factory at Bardney was purpose-built in 1931 by A.W. Foster and Company. It was one of the early large-scale fruit and vegetable canning operations in Lincolnshire, a county famous for its agriculture. Despite building the factory, A.W. Foster & Co. only operated it independently for a short time. In March 1932, the business was purchased by the American-owned John Morrell and Co. Ltd. Even after the 1932 sale, the Foster's and 'Daisy' brand names were considered so valuable that they continued to be used for marketing until at least1946, when the company was fully merged into John Morrell & Co. By 1936, the factory was a major local employer and a key part of the national supply chain for 'English garden' style canned vegetables, notably peas and fruits, which were marketed under the high-quality 'Daisy' label. The site remained a hub for food production under various owners (including Premier Foods and BP Nutrition) for over 60 years until its closure in April 1994.
