Miniature Monsters From The Underworld - Garden Insects and Pests
The garden seemed a welcome retreat to the colossal carnage and devastation caused by WW1. But lying in wait beneath the foliage remained an enemy even more formidable than before, an opponent that could survive an all out nuclear attack and would probably outlive us all - the garden pest.
Very few cigarette card sets were issued purely on entomology, but this is one of those rare insect gems. As well as highlighting the gardeners’ foes, it pays tribute to their underrated friends – the ladybird (or ladybug) and the garden spider. It goes on to describe a whole host of destructive miniature monsters from the underworld. I’ve done my best in listing the titles of all these ancient collectors’ cards below.
