British Army Crests, Badges & Flags Collectable Cards Image Collection

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A Matomaton collectable cards image collection for wargamers.

One hundred images from two series of collectable cards from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries depicting British regimental badges and flags. Together they make an excellent resource for military historians and wargamers.

Details

This collection contains images of the fronts (there was no information on the backs of these cards) of one hundred cards from two series:

-- Fifty cards from Badges & Flags Of The British Regiments.
-- Fifty cards from Crests & Badges Of The British Regiments.

The PDF contains two pages for the cover and legalese and then four images per page (two or three if the cards are in landscape).   

Available Now or Coming Soon

This is one of many such collections of collectable card series covering military uniforms, regimental insignia and army life, amongst other subjects, that I will be releasing.

About Collectable Cards

In the 1870s and 1880s, cigarette companies began issuing series of collectable cards, one card with each packet of their brand. Each series could run to twenty-five, fifty or even a hundred cards (occasionally many more) and depicted various subjects, though primarily famous people (actresses, sportsmen and leaders), places and animals. Some brands, notably in the UK, ran a number of series depicting military uniforms, insignia and training.

About Matomaton

I've long been fascinated by military history and the development of military uniforms through the years.   These cards make fascinating collections in their own right but they also make easily accessible guides to contemporary and earlier military uniforms, etc.

By providing these collections I am neither endorsing the brands represented nor encouraging the smoking of tobacco.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
