Catalogue of Liebig Trade Cards

Plot

HOW TO USE THE CATALOGUE
The catalogue is divided into seven sections. Each has its own introduction.
Part 1—The normal "Chromo" issues, with references to the Fada and Sanguinetti Italian Liebig Catalogues.
Part 2—Menu Cards, which all have spaces on the front for a daily Menu to be written in.
Part 3—Table Cards. This section includes place cards and some Menu cards, which can be distinguished by their size, which is approximately the same, or a little more than, the series in Part 1.
Part 4—Oxo insert cards. These are all miniature size, and with English texts.
Part 5—Miscellaneous Issues. Any items currently in stock which do not fall in any of the above categories.
Appendix A—A subject index, cross referring to Parts 1 to 4. Appendix B—Brooke Bond Issues.

SEQUENCE
Series in this catalogue are, wherever possible, in the same sequence as the Fada Catalogue. They will therefore appear in approximate date order, and in the alphabetical sequence within each year of the Italian series title.
DATES OF ISSUE
Dates of issue are normally taken from the Fada Catalogue. They should however only be regarded as approximate, since in many instances authorities differ concerning the exact date. This may in part be caused by the same series having appeared at slightly different times in the different languages in which it was issued.
LANGUAGE
The Chromo sets were issued in one or more of a variety of languages, nearly always for a European country. These are: —
Bohemian—for Czechoslovakia Danish
Dutch
English—for Britain and the U.S.A. Flemish—for Belgium
