Consolidated Cigarette Co. (USA) - (N352) Fine Colored Relief Cards (05) - Cricket


1888
(N352) Fine Colored Relief Cards
Consolidated Cigarette Co. / Paxi Cigarettes
USA
100 cards (1 known Football)

This Cricket card was originally included in the post that has since become the master list for this collection, which can be found here - Consolidated Cigarette Co. (USA) - (N352) Fine Colored Relief Cards (01) - Foot Ball. As part of a re-organisation for this set I've decided to give each sport it's own post. The master list can be found in the first link.
UPDATE (17-05-2023 15:49):  Many years ago I added a scan of a Cricket Giant Relief sheet issued by Raphael Tuck & Sons. It is numbered 203 and I've included the image here. Thanks to research by tim_uk on the Vintage Non-Sports Cards forum, the Cricket card shown here is now known to have been taken from the Athletes sheet of die-cut characters. It's possible that there are no other cricketers in the series of Fine Colored Relief Cards.

Play
Played Sir
Bowled indeed
Oh
An unexpected rise
Just takes his gloves off
