Another dive into the rich world of early twentieth century cigarette cards. This time a set from John Player & Sons called ' Aviary & Cage Birds', created in 1933. A number of species are beautifully illustrated with rich, vivid colours, having that slight earthiness to them which was characteristic of the time, & painted with wonderful observation. Mini masterpieces really. Swinson's lorikeet, crested cockatoo, red & blue macaw, zebra finch, black-headed Gouldian finch, rosy faced love bird, & more. Pure cotton, single button cuff, classic collar shirt withe beauty & charm
