Default UK cigarette card

Posted By: Eric Eichelkraut

They represent the exact same photo, so one can only speculate where the photo was taken, or what year. I thought it was relatively interesting that a Cuban and British tobacco company produced a card with the same photo, yet with no other discernable likenesses. As far as I was aware, Susini Sportiva cards are dated c. 1916, and the R&J Hill has no date (but does have a card number on front, #48). One difference between my R&J Hill card and the scan shown here, is the backside. Instead of the narative in the middle, that area of my card has "Issued only with London Idol Cigarettes".
