Cigarette collector cards

"Cigarette cards were a source of information as well as being highly collectible in an age when that kind of information was hard to come by. Smoking was more socially acceptable in the early and mid twentieth century. The card I have depicted show race horses with information on each in a set of 50, wild animals from around the world in a set of 50, and another set giving general knowledge."
