Serbian puzzle cards
38 Items
The Spanish confectionary firm, Chocolates Jaime Boix, produced various series of promotional, collectible cards which were distributed inside their bars of chocolate. This set has 18 cards which, when assembled, show the central figure of King Peter of Serbia with various scenes of the war around him and, on the back of each card, captions to the images on the other side as well as more general information about Serbia itself, including historical. The chronology of the captions on the cards seem to lead up to winter 1915, and the Albanian Retreat for the Serbian Army, where card number 17 mentions Serbian soldiers in trenches protecting the Nis railway line, and, with the final card, number 18, it mentions the retreat of the army to take refuge in Montenegro and from there to seek to reconquer their homeland. The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York has the same set of chocolate cards in its collection. || 18 puzzle cards from Chocolates Jaime Boix themed on Serbia.
