I collected : 19th century litho printed chromo advertising trade-cards; edited with so called educational purposes, by international Companies ( chocolate and other food and industry : also smaller companies and even small shops : In all towns in Europe and North America : Cacao, chocolate , meat extract , coffee , tea , gum etc ... sets and cards, were given away , beginning from 1860's with hand press printed lithographic cards ... I collect since the 1950 : my grandfather and father started the collection. Those collections are mostly pre first war and 90% is pre 1900 : most are small cards of approximately 7 centimeters X 11 centimeters with advertising texts : on front or only on backside. Address cards, menucards from Companies, Ships, Hotels, personal , sets, series , calendars , vignettes , hotel labels , etiquettes , postcards , die cuts , art nouveau and other design through those decades. I especially liked those edited before 1900, and with the focus on 1830 to 1870 lithographic trade cards and porcelain cards.
