I hope others who are more familiar with these cards will be able add their thoughts.Alan Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506565153183838394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6853344098601877368.post-46280305839996471122021-05-31T03:10:08.764+01:002021-05-31T03:10:08.764+01:00This is more of question than a comment, but I hav...This is more of question than a comment, but I have looked at the Guinea Gold and Circus Girl sets and I am wondering if it is possible that the Guinea Gold (at least in part) predates the Circus Girl set? I am sure that the Circus Girl set dates to 1897 and was named after the Circus Girl play that started in late 1896 by the Gaiety Theater which was the name of the brand Cohen Weenen and Co. branded their cigarettes i.e. Gaiety Girl. However, I have found reference in 1898 of Ogden's claiming copyright for sole use of their images beginning in advertisements from 1898. This suggests that perhaps that Ogden's images were used by Cohen, Weenen and Co. but were stopped by Ogden's legal department and might explain the relatively short run of Circus Girl cards. However, this is just speculation and I would be curious to hear any information that can conclusively date both sets. Leitchajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383211246307172476noreply@blogger.com
