Card of the Day - 2022-03-09

Here we have the Swan River Daisy, and look at the new picture we have uploaded here, for that tells the secret of this card - its kind of a spot the difference that even I can do, for unlike some particularly abstract modern artworks, it is plain to see that one of these cards is hanging upside down. 

The set was printed by E.S. & A. Robinson Ltd of Bristol in full colour by the offset litho process, and the backs were printed in red, which scanners are not too fond of. Anyone with a better scan do send it along as it is fairly easy to replace. 

In 1950 the London Cigarette Card Company was offering single cards from this set at 1d each, and complete sets at 3/-, at least in the main catalogue, as these were one of the sets which were on special offer in their “Abridged Catalogue”.
