Abstract
The illustrations, nicely detailed for their size, are identical in each set. The picture side always features "Gallaher's Cigarettes" and a block-print title on the colored picture, with "Copyright" in the lower right corner. The design of each set's verso differs slightly. One finds the title of the series, a title, a fable text, a moral, and a bold strip at the bottom proclaiming "Issued by Gallaher Ltd., Belfast & London." My prizes among the illustrations go to these cards: #41. The Horse and the Ass, #43. The Field of Treasure, and #71. The Vain Jackdaw. At least "The Ass and His Driver" (#38) and maybe more illustrations are taken from Tenniel.
