Flag Cards
The album was designed for 117 illustrated flag cards.
This copy contains 117 cards in total. However, there is one duplicate: the album has two Persia (Perzië) cards, while the Panama card is missing.
Therefore, the physical card count is complete, but one correct card is missing and replaced by a duplicate Persia card.
Condition
Vintage used condition with signs of age.
The pages show age-related foxing, spotting and discoloration, particularly in some sections. The blue cloth spine and board edges show rubbing and wear consistent with age. The pages remain firmly bound and the illustrated cards are present throughout the album.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they show the actual item and its condition.
A fascinating early-1950s Dutch advertising album, especially interesting for collectors of vintage ephemera, Dutch advertising, flag collections, historical geography and mid-century printed material.
