The Duke N117 Industries of States series pictures women dressed in what appears to be Greek or Roman garb next to a shield for the respective state represented. Since the cards were likely issued in the late 1880's to early 1890's the scantily clad women with the occasional bare breast likely caused a stir. Many of the women sport a bare breast and little is done to cover them. The backs of the cards advertise Dukes Brands of Gail & Ax or Honest Long cut.
This complete set of (25) cards from the N115B Gail and Ax Industries of States set are match-backed and range in condition from Fair to VGEX with most cards being GVG to VG.
