Company

This is a large series of trade cards issued in France, showing the coat of arms of cities, with a small city view. The cards were issued as blancs and could be printed by different companies and used as trade cards.

I have no further information on the company itself.

Unlike most other publishers of this series, the cards have some information about the city on the reverse of the cards.
