Peter Pan Magazine - Games, Sports & Pastimes


1930's
Games, Sports & Pastimes
Peter Pan Magazine
20 cards ?

Peter Pan Magazine was issued in aid of the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond St., London, WC1. Each issue of the magazine had six cards attached to the cover. I don't have a complete checklist for this collection and I'm adding it here to see if anyone can provide more information and/or confirm whether a football card was included.
The cards feature silhouettes created by Harry Lawrence Oakley, who made tens of thousands of silhouettes between the 1920's and the 1950's. Oakley produced portraits, book and newspaper illustrations, and stationery. During his time as a soldier in the First World War he designed posters for the army.
