1892
(A32) Sporting Girls
W. Duke Sons & Co.
USA
10 prints (0 football)
I am really fascinated by the early American sports cards and albums and even though this collection doesn't include football I thought I'd include it, the album includes a collection of 10 prints of Sporting Girls compiled in an accordian-style. The covers of this album state "This Folding Album we furnish in exchange for 75 Certificates - one of which is packed in each of our cigarette boxes".
Bullfighting (holding rapier in right hand)
Diving
Fencing (flexing foil over head)
Hunting
