| The picture shows all (4) Beautiful Old French Advertising Trade Cards With Children & Toys in this lot. These were made in Paris, France and all three are very detailed and colorful. All the children are very finely dressed. The gold background is actually a shiny gold but the scans don't show it. The first one picures three boys, two are playing a game of chess while one watches. This is a great image! At the bottom it reads in French: ECHEC ET MAT. The second one is equally as nice! It pictures children, a boy and a girl playing a wind musical instument on a hill side. A lamb sits between them The Third one pictures three children involved in a game of dominoes. At the bottom it reads in French: BLANC ET AS, JE PASSE. The fourth one pictures two girls in fancy dresses holding a bird nest with birds. At the bottom it reads in French: UNE BONNE TROUVAILLE.
