It’s the @BritishLibrary’s 50th birthday! This biscuit (cookie) set is inspired by the British Library’s wonderful collections. Each biscuit depicts an item from one of their six core collection areas: stamps, newspapers, manuscripts, printed materials, maps, and sounds. 🍪

Biscuits flavoured with Earl Grey and Yorkshire Lavender (because research is fuelled by tea). All designs painted by hand using food colouring gels, edible lustres, and vodka. Find out more about the history of the collection items featured in this set: blogs.bl.uk/living-knowled…
