Butterfly & Moth Girls - cigarette cards - part 1

Each of the 50 cards in the series (for some reason I could only source 49 of them) features a different butterfly girl and a description about the particular (real) butterfly or moth on the reverse.

This is part 1 of a 2 - part post on Butterfly and Moth Girls:
