Beautiful 1888 N26 Allen & Ginter The World's Beauties (1st Series) complete set of 50 cards glued onto a pair of vintage album pages, probably sometime in the early 1890's. Incredible color imagery still bright and fresh after all these years, protected by being placed inside an album. The 11 1/2" by 16 3/4" pages have 25 cards per page, lined up neatly 3 rows across. The pages are cracking and very brittle, as are most of the others from this vintage find. The vast majority of cards present in EX-MT to NM or better from the front. The fact this person had so many complete sets with so many different cards leads us to believe that the original owner possibly worked in the company that produced them. Beautiful group!
