Fish Series - T58 Bob Forbes' Information

The pictures in this series depict fish found in the waters of the world, with an emphasis on North American fish. The set was issued in two 50-card series. The first, with backs stating "Fish Series 1-50", has subjects identical to Allen & Ginter's 19th-century set N8. The second series, with backs stating "Fish Series 1-100", contains an additional 50 subjects. The second series is slightly less common than the first. The cards were issued with four brands: Piedmont, Sovereign, Sweet Caporal Cigarettes, and Sweet Caporal Tobacco Wrappers. The Sweet Caporal Tobacco Wrappers backs are very scarce and have only been found with Series 1-50 subjects. The series was issued in the spring and summer of 1910 by the American Tobacco Company.
