Edwards, Ringer & Bigg - Sports & Games in Many Lands


1935
Sports & Games in Many Lands
Edwards, Ringer & Bigg
25 cards

Another version of the Sports & Games in Many Lands collection. These cards are similar to the W.A. & A.C. Churchman set of Sports & Games in Many Lands, with the phrase Churchman's Cigarettes removed from the illustration.
UPDATE (26-11-2022 16:24):  John Levitt has provided a scan of the back of card number 24 from the Card Collectors Society reprint from 2001. I have shown this card larger than the original illustration to highlight the reference to it being a reprint.

    1. I know of four different versions of this collection but I am not aware of an Edwards, Ringer & Big reprint.
