The collection of picture cards has fascinated generations of children and adults since the late nineteenth century. Between 1900 and 1940, cartophily, as the hobby became known, became widespread as hundreds of millions of attractive cards were issued, usually with packets of cigarettes. These cards give us a unique insight into the cultural history of the period. Although the production of cigarette and other trade cards has declined in recent decades, millions of people worldwide now collect trading cards and stickers issued by the likes of Topps and Panini.
This attractive and extensively illustrated guide to collecting cigarette and other trade cards gives the reader a lively history of the hobby, and offers the collector some valuable advice on how to begin and maintain a collection. The wide variation of themes of card issues is explored, with many of the stories behind the cards revealed. It will appeal to novice and established card collectors, and those with an interest in twentieth century social and cultural history.

"A History of Cigarette and Trade Cards by John Broom is a free advanced reader copy of a paperback book offered to me by Pen & Sword in exchange for an honest review.
Cigarette and trading cards as coming from different products and in big, diverse groupings of subject matter (i.e. wartime, sports, transportation, flora & fauna, pop culture, science, scenery, and valuable cards) that appeal to men, women, and children (and differing views on global/European history) and compel them to collect an entire, complete set. It all seems to begin as a promotion for the French retail store Au Bon Marche in 1840, though this book hops very quickly back and forth through time to remark on a card and its appearance in, say, a 20th century almanac. While this is to be expected from a book about items of value, it has a jarring effect on the chronology, especially if the value, hobby, and historic portion of the book is a scant 10 pages away. There was otherwise a brief whisper about the proprietors of trading card companies, which seemed quite interesting."
