The Royal Bengals brand of little cigars carried over into the early 20th century where the Royal Bengals brand advertising is common on a number of 20th century "T" tobacco issues. This cabinet of the HRH Prince Henry of Prussia was apparently issued in the 19th century with the Royal Bengal branding and has been classified as N573 in the American Card Catalog. It is apparently the only subject in a single card set. There are, however, at least two different advertising backs that have variations on the size of the Bengal tiger in the circular graphic.
This cabinet appears to be in VGEX condition but does have a little paper loss in the "R" of Royal on the back in the upper left. The front has just a little bit of wear right under the photo above the Prince's title.
