The complete set of 40 cards is presented. This fascinating gallery constitutes a remarkable history lesson about the literary realm in the early 20th Century. The premium-sized tobacco cards reveal stunning color portraits of their subjects, along with facsimile signatures and fascinating biographical text. Among the gallery's highlights: H.G. Wells, W. Somerset Maugham, A.A. Milne and Aldous Huxley. Condition is about EX to EX/MT with a few nicer and a few lesser. This is an important and informative issue, and a release that's seldom seen as a complete set.
