About Cigarette Cards

First introduced in the 1880s, cigarette cards were originally placed in cigarette packets to stiffen the pack and soon became collectible works of art. Featuring everything from athletes and film stars to animals, inventions, and scenic landscapes, they remain a captivating window into the past.
