Card of the Day - 2024-10-28

Choc Pupier Les Sports Modernes
Chocolat Pupier [trade : chocolate : O/S - France] "Les Sports Modernes" (19??) Un/??

So to close out our clue cards, this one ought to have given you a net. When you think about it, tennis and the internet are not so unaligned - especially in research terms. You throw out a request, and it will either be returned over the net, or not. However if we find the right person the information flows back and forth for all the world like the best tennis matches should. 

This is an unusual one, because I believed until I was shown this that Chocolat Pupier only did the volumes showing the Continents of the World that we have featured previously, Africa, and Asia.

The cards of this set, in alphabetical order, are

  • Alpinisme [mountaineering]
  • Automobile [motor car racing]
  • Bicyclette [cycling]
  • Chasse [hunting]
  • Golf
  • Luge [tobogganning]
  • Motocyclette [motorbiking]
  • Natation [diving]
  • Pelote Bas [pelota]
  • Rugby
  • Ski-ing
  • Tennis

The odd one out is the Motocyclette, for this shows a man with a woman holding on the pillion, and so it is almost certainly not a sport.
