A collection of vintage cigarette and trade card albums, primarily dating from the mid-20th century. The assortment includes paper-bound albums published by John Player and Sons, W.D. and H.O. Wills, and Senior Service (J.A. Pattreiouex Ltd). The subject matter encompasses natural history, royalty, and transportation, with visible titles including An Album of Sea Fishes, An Album of British Fresh-Water Fishes, Animals of the Countryside, The Reign of King George 1910- Silver Jubilee 1935, and Our King and Queen. More modern examples include Grandee Britains Nocturnal Wildlife and Britains Endangered Wildlife, alongside Brooke Bond Picture Cards. One Senior Service album is shown open to a page of railway-themed monochrome cards, while a John Player and Sons album displays colour illustrations of marine life and dog breeds. The albums are variously constructed with stapled or string-tied bindings, featuring printed titles and illustrative covers. Several items bear printed prices such as PRICE ONE PENNY.
