What a wonderful find, Norstrum. I know nothing about German cigarette cards so can you tell me what size they are? Are all the images photographic? Are you lucky enough to have a complete collection?

Actually, I must be careful, asking all these question as there is a danger that I might get the bug - and I have enough problems explaining to my wife the size of my postcard collection ;)

The album contain also all fronts with pictures, behind the front, what is happening at home and at sea, in the colonies and close up pictures of all different people the Germans fought against. I add a couple of pictures from that side so you can see how the Germans looked at the enemy at that time. The last picture shows "englander" and "scotish and Irish" /regards! Norstrom

Fascinating. Most propaganda caricatures seem to be far less flattering than these!
