Introduction
This is a 1935 German cigarette album titled “Die Groben der Weltgeschichte” (The Great Men of World History). This album features beautifully lithographed cards depicting prominent historical figures from various eras, including rulers, military leaders, and cultural icons. The album is divided into sections covering different periods of history, such as the Middle Ages, the Age of Frederick the Great, and the Napoleonic Wars. Each page showcases multiple figures with brief biographical information in German.
Condition
This album shows signs of age and wear consistent with its vintage. The cover exhibits edge wear and some discoloration, while the pages have some minor foxing and handling marks. Despite these imperfections, the album remains structurally sound and the cards are largely intact. This album would be of interest to collectors of vintage ephemera, German history enthusiasts, and those interested in the history of cigarette card collecting.
