Title: Chocolat de l'Union
Description: 1900? Thirteen – out of a numbered series of 20 – small (about 2" x 3") cards by "Chocolat de L'Union" in Lyon. Each is labelled as a "Chromo-Cadeau." One extra of #20, "Cobbler and Financier." $5 each from Bertrand Cocq, Calonne Ricouart, France, Sept., '20.

An unusual feature of these cards is that one could cut off the bottom portion of each card and return it to Chocolat de l'Union, I gather for some prize. Thus the numbering of each card is given twice, once just above the cut-off demarcation and once below it. We thus have some of the cards before and some after the bottom portion was removed. Now to find the other seven cards!
