Description: 1890s, Tobacco/Cigarette Card, 047, Frau Sohush, N245 Actress, Sweet Caporal Click images to enlarge Description You are bidding on an original Antique 1890's N245, Tobacco/Cigarette Card, Sweet Caporal, #047, Actress Frau Sohush. Back is an advertisement. Cigarette cards are trading cards issued by tobacco manufacturers to stiffen cigarette packaging and advertise cigarette brands. Between 1875 and the 1940s, cigarette companies often included collectible cards with their packages of cigarettes. Cigarette card sets document popular culture from the turn of the century, often depicting the period's actresses, costumes, and sports, as well as offering insights into mainstream humor and cultural norms. Beginning in 1875, cards depicting actresses, baseball players, Indian chiefs, boxers, national flags or wild animals were issued by the U.S.-based Allen & Ginter tobacco company. These are considered to be some of the first cigarette cards. Other tobacco companies such as Goodwin & Co. soon followed suit. They first emerged in the U.S., then the UK, then, eventually, in many other countries. (ref wikipedia) If you have any questions about this item or anything I am auctioning, please let me know.
