Players Animals & Wildlife Britains Endangered Wildlife Doncella Issue 1984 Britains Endangered Wildlife Doncella Issue 1984 L32 - Originally issued with Player’s Doncella brand this is a first-class series of clear colour photographs featuring species either rarely seen or benefitting from conservation efforts. The cards are a mixture of horizontal and vertical format and the backs are numbered with comprehensive and informative text concerning distribution, breeding and the reason why they are vulnerable. The backs also tell us about a free album that could be obtained from the manufacturers. Amongst the creatures featured are the Greater Horseshoe Bat which we are told can only be found in the south-west and Wales, the Natterjack Toad which used to be found on sandy heaths all over Britain and the Bittern which we are told is in worrying decline with less than 50 pairs left. This set was also issued with Player’s Grandee Cigars with the same pictures and text but with Grandee instead of Doncella. These beautiful and informative cards, size 90 x 50mm, add greatly to the appreciation of our wildlife.
