The A32 Album is actually a folding folio of 10 sporting girls. The cover of the Duke album spells that out. This is one of the tougher Duke Albums to obtain. Each image within the album is a cabinet-sized image printed on heavy paper similar to the T3/T9 cabinets. The images picture Victorian ladies in full dress with sporting items identifying them as a Jockey, Fencer, Tobagganist, Swimmer and Hunter, among others. The piece in this lot is the fencing girl from the A32 Duke Tobacco Sporting Girls folio. It is in about VGEX condition with cloth strips along the side where it is believed it was strung together with the other images from the folio. Tough piece from one of the tougher albums of the 1880's.
