The bag, which was created for Albert Smith, a Baker, Confectioner, and Corn Factor, located on Derby Road in Nottingham, England, is adorned with a beautiful border that highlights various crops, flowers, and a baker at work. The border's intricate design reflects the agricultural abundance and the importance of the baking and confectionery trade during this time. The central image of the baker at work adds a personal touch to the design, highlighting the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating each and every loaf of bread or pastry.
