"Green Back" Sets with Large Red Titles |
|
While none of these cards are signed they are all by
the same Green Back Publisher who appears to have specialised in
supplying cards drawn by Fred Spurgin - and so it is reasonable to
assume that they are all by Fred Spurgin.
Many contain cards showing a Lady in a red dress with a feathered hat. As the cards were typically not printed with consecutive numbers and of this reason the number of cards in any set is uncertain, but there is no reason to assume it exceeded six. |
