A collection of comic and fantasy art plus artwork from the Golden Age of Illustration

Cigarette Cards: Polar Exploration
This is a set of cigarette cards from 1915. It doesn't really fit into the theme of fantasy comic book and illustration art, but I just have two sets of cigarette cards and don't want to start a cigarette card blog with only two posts. These cards are Series 1 of the Polar Exploration set. There was also a Series 2 released in 1916 that focused on Robert F. Scott's ill-fated 1912 expedition. These cards were produced by John Player and Sons.
I'll get back to some blood and guts or cheesecake later this week.
Seems like there used to be a time when the word "playa" ment something way cooler than it does now.
