Haus Bergmann trade card - mounted.

The Fastest People.

German sports cards mounded, these are from a German Graphics exhibition, date unknown. They have catalogue numbers.

Mount size 154 x 170 card size approx. 43mm x 60mm

Even though they are mounted they are in very good condition.

These cards were distributed by German tobacco company 43mm x 60mm for inclusion in its cigarette products. The company created other sets as well, including sets for movie stars and one for the Olympic games.

Called ‘Sport-Karikaturen,’ this issue features caricatures of famous athletes.

They were the work of artist Walter Trier, a German who was known as an anti Nazi cartoonist. Most notably, sports include hockey, boxing, soccer, and tennis, among others.

Fronts of the cards feature colour images of athletes as well as their name, the Sport-Karikaturen name, and a card number.

As they are caricatures, the pictures are only loose representations of the athletes. They are certainly more defined than some issues.

Backs of the cards provide a brief biography as well as a mention that albums for these cards were also available.

The more notable cards for American collectors are those of German hockey player Gustav Jaenecke, boxer Max Schmeling, and tennis greats Bill Tilden and Helen Wills. Other cards featuring boxers are also quite desirable.

Pictures show actual items. Shows slight signs of use.
