EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage Carreras Cigarette Card from around 1929 showcases the legendary figure of Hereward the Wake in all his glory. The card features a full-length portrait of this fictional character, known for his bravery and heroism. In the image, Hereward stands tall and proud, holding a sword and dagger firmly in hand. His blond hair cascades down to his shoulders, adding to his striking appearance. Dressed in a vibrant tunic with intricate detailing and wearing sturdy boots, he exudes strength and power. The color lithograph captures every detail of this remarkable piece of jewelry - from the multicolored bracelet adorning his wrist to the fine hosiery on his legs. The primary colors used bring life to the design, making it visually captivating. As an advertisement for Carreras Ltd. , a tobacco company at that time, this trade card served as both an artistic representation and promotional tool. The English text accompanying the image adds further context about Hereward's heroic exploits. This print is not only a testament to commercial art but also serves as an intriguing glimpse into European history and literature. It is no wonder that these cigarette cards became highly sought-after collectibles among young adults during that era. With its rich imagery and historical significance, this Hereward the Wake Carreras Cigarette Card remains an enduring symbol of British culture and storytelling prowess by Charles Kingsley
