Presented is a 50-card complete set of N73 "Fancy Dress Ball Costumes" non-sports cards issued by Duke in 1889. In a wonderful twist to the time's theater-actress insert card theme, these colorful collectibles reveal their famous subjects in period costume. Flowers, feathers and other accessories complement the ladies' winsome images—and inspiring subtitles—in the Fancy Dress Ball Costumes portrayals, and the clean, attractive gallery serves as a cavalcade of 19th Century glamor. Grades 52% EX to EX/MT (including a few slightly nicer), 26% VG to VG/EX, 22% lesser.
