MERL: Exhibition: The Art and Craft of Suttons.

• The Art and Craft of Suttons • Suttons was founded in Reading in 1806, trading at first as corn merchants under the name ‘House of Sutton’; later, the company began to sell flower and vegetable seeds. It grew to become a major international firm, as well as the pride of the town. This display shows just a few of the many thousands of Sutton's-related items held in the collections at MERL and explores what we might call the ‘Art of Suttons’ which attained full glory in the lavishly illustrated catalogues of the late 19th century. • 9 September – 23 November 2014 • Normal opening hours (visit www.reading.ac.uk/special-collections for details) • Free
