cigarette cards







Went to the flea market today with wife..it has been a while...since we both were very much busy with our work...as my love of graphic design ..i saw these set of cigarette cards...lying on top of a vendor table next to a pile of old photos...it was expensive when i asked for prices ...because of  how much i love them.... bargain was my only way to get them ...finally we shook hands....so i picked up a full set of these cigarette cards plus a another pile of the same sets.....3 sets of 50 cards to be exact.... =150 cards...of joy....and awesomeness of graphics....(Reminded me of monocle type of graphics)


I was lucky to have 3 set ...not only untill i get back and googled them just find out .....how much its worth ......OH MY GOD....


Artist :Alick P.F. Ritchie (1868-1938) 


The National Portrait Gallery in London have the same set on display too.
