Buxton is a spring water from Derbyshire and the company particularly wanted to emphasize its purity and a rural setting. Wood engraving, with its links to British artists who specialised in country scenes, such as Thomas Bewick (1753-1828), and its connotations of 'tradition' and 'heritage', was chosen to convey this impression.
