Artifact Overview

The first pictorial lunchboxes, introduced in 1950, featured Hopalong Cassidy. Since then, generations of children have proudly sported pictorial images of their favorite movies on the sides of their school lunchboxes. Based on a book series, the musical film Mary Poppins, released in 1964, is the charming story of a "magical" nanny for two difficult children.
