Allen & Ginter (USA) - (N22) Racing Colors of the World

1888

(N22) Racing Colors of the World

Allen & Ginter

USA

50 cards

I am fascinated by the early American cigarette cards and I thought I'd include this set even though the connection to football is very tenuous. This collection includes the racing colours of Lord Rosebery who was Honorary President of the Scottish Football Association and Heart of Midlothian Football Club. The Scottish national team actually wore his primrose and pink colours on at least 9 occasions in the late 1880's and early 1990's.

The cards are unnumbered and are listed here in the order they appear on the backs of the cards, with numbers added for reference purposes only. You'll notice all the jockeys are ladies.
