Condition: Good. 14 cards advertising Fleisch Extract, measuring 3 x 4 inches. Cuties of the world on the front from 9 different countries, with five more duplicates. Liebig produced many illustrated advertising products: table cards, menu cards, children games, free trade card sets, calendars, posters, poster stamps, paper and other toys. These were often in the form of trading card sets with stories, historical tidbits, geographic tidbits, and so on. The sets usually consisted of six cards, one card included per product sale. Many famous artists were contacted to design those series of cards, which were first produced using true lithography, then litho chromo, chromolithography, and finally offset printing. The cards remain popular with collectors and are often collected in albums. The cards in this set are n very good condition; some with glue residue on verso from having been mounted in an album.
