Description

Rarely offered tobacco premium album issued by Allen & Ginter for its G22 "World's Decorations" card set produced in 1888. In the 1880s, in addition to insert cards, tobacco companies also offered special albums available only by mail in exchange for coupons (usually 75 or 100) that were packed with tobacco one coupon per pack. Each premium album features images of all of the subjects in a given set, along with additional background artwork. These souvenir albums were the top prizes offered by the tobacco companies and have long been highly valued by collectors.
