1888
(N88) The Terrors of America and their Doings - Type 2
W. Duke, Sons & Co.
USA
50 cards (1 Football)
Until recently I was unaware of the different versions of these N88 cards. But I have to thank Billyo9999 and morrellman from the Vintage Non-Sports Cards forum for providing information and examples of these larger versions of the N88 cards. I don't know how these cards don't have their own 'N' designation, but collectors seem to be identifying them as 'Type 2' and that works for me. These are slightly larger than the original series, though the images are exactly the same size as the original ones, leaving a border on all four sides which has been utilized with three different designs, each in two different colours. Not enough examples have been seen to say that all cards are available with all six designs. I have only found two versions of the Foot Ball card, so I have included some of the baseball cards and a fishing card to show the other designs.

HELP NEEDED: The only item relating to this collection that I am aware of but haven't been able to add to my blog, is the banner produced by W. Duke, Sons & Co. - The Terrors of America Banner, it only shows three of the boys and has been given the designation of G51 in the American Card Catalog. Is anyone able to provide a photo of this banner?
