Cant recall if this is a font as such, but Copperplate Gothic 33 BC would seem to match if most serifs were clipped

"The Cadbury script logo, based on the signature of William Cadbury, appeared first on the transport fleet in 1921. It was quite fussy to start with and has been simplified over the years. It wasn’t until 1952 that it was used across major brands." Source: https://www.cadbury.co.uk/the-story
Some more letters as used in a Cadbury campaign

Note that the _C_ and _a_ are the same but the _r_ is different.
I am not aware of a font based on the logo.

According to the Photolettering "Alphabet Thesaurus" Sill "TV" Square Gothic_ was designed by G. Reed Sill Jr.
AFAIK not digitized.
Here is an example of Sill_TV_Square Gothic in use

I think its lettering. Note the different terminals on _E_ in _THE_ compared to the _E_ in _WATERLOO_. Also the different top serifs on _A_ in _WATERLOO_ compared to the _A_ in _BRIAN CATHCART_.
Repeating letters that do match can be explained by the use of photo repetition.
The letters have style details from the late 19th century plus some modern ideas such as the _O_ which was first used in a Photo-Lettering font called, IIRC, TV Gothic.
However, it would be interesting to list the fonts that were ripped for the style details.

Unfortunately so far all I have found are some similar fonts.
Here is another one.
Samantha Upright has an alternate _E_ and _s_ similar to the image.

Closer, but still not an exact match

My info, from Loy's book on 19th century punch-cutters, doesn't give a lot of details.
It's quite possible that the magazine's employees sketched the letters and Schroeder transformed them into something that could be printed with the technology of the day, i.e. metal type. At the time this whole process was considered as tradesman's work and beneath the dignity of being documented. Unfortunate.

Good info.
Harper was originally cut and probably designed by by Gustave E. Schroeder.
