Missed the recent Kellys visitor, but I was interested to see in the recent issue of the NSW State Library's magazine (SL Summer 2012-13, p. 5) an interesting Bittern image in an article on "trademark" graphics designed for screen printing onto cotton bags used for exporting Australian flour pre 1940- a change from more cliched images?

Online the image is at: http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/discover_collections/history_nation/agriculture/produce/flour/image03.html
