This set of animal cards was issued during a time when animal welfare was not top priority. Wild animals, many that are rarer than the old cigarette cards that depict them, were mercilessly hunted and turned into items of vanity: fashion accessories and wall mounted trophies. Clues to societies’ primitive attitudes towards them can be found in the descriptive text on the backs of some cards, such as that on the card featuring the supposedly “Common Otter”: “Its fur is of considerable value”. This nicely illustrated, slightly embossed card set includes a good selection of animals from around the world, including the tiger, lion, zebra, Kangaroo and many more.
