1932 Aesop's Fables. W.H. & J. Woods Ltd., Cigarette
Manufacturers. Preston. Series of 25. $20 at Noah's Ark, Milwaukee, June, '87. Second set
for $13.50 from Colin Fawcett, Wisbech, England, through Ebay, Sept., '01.
This was my first set of
cigarette cards. I went on to find a great deal more, including two
different renditions of this same set in color, done by Gallaher
in 1931 and Anstie in 1934. These
cards are in very good condition. The copies here of the earlier
colored work are unspectacular. The texts repeat those of the Gallaher
original.
