This set of Stollwerck trade cards from 1898 carries the title “Things that Make Us Happy”. It shows, from left to right: Exercising, Riding a Horse, Ice Skating, Lawn Tennis, Hiking Up a Mountain, and Bicycle Riding.
The cards were designed by the German artist Paul Otto Engelhardt who won third place in the prize competition to design cards for Stollwerck. The lettering and design show the hallmark of a modern style, while the figures engaging in the various activities can be identified by their clothing as middle- and upper-class citizens of the time.
