Description
Set of 5 Vintage 1960s Motoring Cards – Albion A2 (1901), Scottish Argyll, 1914 Krieger, Vermorel & 1899 Stanley Steam Car
A characterful set of five vintage motoring illustration cards, likely produced in the 1960s and originally bound into an album or reference book — suggested by the uneven left‑hand edges where they appear to have been removed. Each card features a detailed printed illustration of an early motor car, accompanied by period‑style descriptive text.
The set includes:
• 1901 Albion A2
• The Scottish Argyll
• 1914 Krieger
• The Vermorel
• 1899 Stanley Steam Car
The artwork is crisp and colourful, with that classic mid‑century educational style collectors love. Because the cards have clean borders on three sides and only a rough inner edge, they are ideal candidates for trimming and framing, either individually or as a themed set.
Perfect for collectors of vintage motoring ephemera, early automotive history, or mid‑century educational prints.
Mid‑Century Motoring Cards & Early Car Heritage
During the 1950s and 1960s, illustrated motoring cards and book plates became popular as educational inserts in encyclopaedias, part‑works, and themed annuals. They offered accessible snapshots of early automotive engineering, from steam‑powered pioneers like the Stanley to electric and petrol‑hybrid experiments such as the Krieger.
Sets like this were often bound into volumes and later removed by collectors for display. Their compact size and strong visual appeal make them excellent decorative pieces, especially when mounted in small frames or grouped as a gallery set.
