James Taddy & Company was founded in 1740. By the end of the 19th century it was one of the most important tobacco companies in Britain. It first produced cigarette cards in 1897 with a set entitled Actresses. In 1907 the company issued a set of 595

football cards entitled "Prominent Footballers". The oval shaped images were in black and white. Further sets were followed in 1908 (403) and 1913 (406).
