This pack was produced by the USPCCo as an advertising pack for Craddock's (Medicated) Blue Soap in 1895 as The advertising is on the backs of the cards.

The pack shows an actor or actress of the time on each card. The Queen of Diamonds is Anna Held, and in my pack there is a signature on this card which might be an original autograph.

There were several other packs showing stage stars in these years, and I will show some others later.
