I've been neglectful of my poor Tumblr lately, but here I am back with a tribute to "spring." Completely predictable, I know, but "spring" means a lot of things, so it's surprising the variety you get when you run it as a keyword through a database — which I've done here with the Library and Archives Canada one. The first thing that struck my eye in the search results was this…. class lacrosse card, of, apparently, a player named "C. Spring." What follows is the information on the collection it comes from:
There are 20 hockey cards, & 66 lacrosse cards bearing pictures of players from different teams.
These cards were placed in cigarette packages c. 1910-12 and were collected just as hockey & baseball cards from bubble gum packages are today.
The cards were collected by an uncle of the donor.
