       The presentation of Liebig (that which is 
        written on the reverse of the cards): 
         
          
         The Leibig Company is the oldest and 
          most powerful entreprise in the world, concerning 
          the rearing of cattle. Its factories are situated 
          in South America (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay) 
          and in South West Africa where it posesses 
          enourmous terrains, which provide grazing 
          ground for it's herds. 
         
        
      The series of cards: 
         
          
        The production of cards by Leibig started 
          in 1872. Each was made up of 6 or of 12 cards. 
          The series finished in 1939, but new publications 
          were made up until 1973. There were more than 
          1 800 series, edited in multiple languages: 
          French, English, Italian, German... The society 
          was taken over by Brooke Bond Tea who, it 
          would seem, contined to publish the cards. 
          The back of the cards were used for publicity, 
          but equally commented on the scene depicted 
          on the front.
