There are sets of butterflies, footballers (soccer players), flowers and others. All sets appear to be 48 subjects and formatted the same with the name of the cigarettes as end panels in light and dark blue with the picture of the subject on the larger panel. The backs of the panels typically have the subject identified on the front of the panel and are numbered 1-48.
This complete set of (48) Butterfly cards from 1930's Soiree Cigarettes (Maritius) are in Near Mint to Near Mint/Mint condition and include the full, uncut panels of the inner slides of the cigarette boxes.
