I saw this in a 1972 Raymond Briggs illustration in "The Fairy Tale Treasury," ed. Virginia Haviland. In the Grimm tale "Simpleton," the main character leads a hungry man to a building-sized loaf of bread. In Briggs' illustration, the letters OHMS appear on the loaf, IIRC.

Does anyone know why he did that? (He's British, for those who don't know.)
