The N44 Allen & Ginter World's Decorations set is the large format companion of the N30 Allen & Ginter small World's Decorations set and the final set of the 44 chromolithographed Allen & Ginter mainstream sets. Neither Decorations set seems to enjoy the widespread interest that almost all the other 42 sets do. It could be that all 50 cards are Decorations or Awards, and, as such, have little differentiation in the artwork. Whatever the issue, the large format Allen & Ginter cards are much tougher to find than the smaller format siblings and also much tougher to find in nice shape. The large format cards, in many cases, seem to have been glued into albums at a higher rate than the smaller counterparts and these Decorations seem to be adhered at an even greater rate than the other large A&G sets. This lot of 16 is no exception.
This lot of (4) cards at first glance are in VGEX or so condition. Two of the cards exhibit some staining on the back from album removal and one has some writing with the date of Nov 4, 1890 on the back. Neat little lot for the set builder.
