Our set of the month for February is Churchman’s Eastern Proverbs with humorous artwork by Rene Bull illustrating proverbs with more than a ring of truth in them. This is the standard-size first series of 25 dating from 1931. These sayings will strike a chord with most of you – “A man thinks he knows, but a woman knows better” on card no. 3, “If someone tells you you are drunk, go to bed – even if you are perfectly sober” (no. 12) and “Look at the mother before becoming engaged to the daughter” (no. 15) – sound advice indeed!

This set of 25 Eastern Proverbs 1st Series issued by Churchman in 1931 in very good condition is catalogued at £20.00.
