{"title":"Pritchard \u0026 Burton","description":"\u003cp\u003ePritchard \u0026amp; Burton was a London tobacco manufacturer active in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, remembered today for its distinctive, often scarce, cigarette card issues. The firm is particularly noted for sets such as the Flags \u0026amp; Soldiers Series and the South African Series, produced around the time of the Boer War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir cards are characteristic of early cigarette advertising: bold, descriptive, and strongly tied to contemporary imperial, military, and patriotic themes.
