Tabac et histoire du Canada

En 1926, l'Imperial Tobacco Company of Canada Limited a produit une série de 48 cartes en anglais relatant des épisodes de l'histoire du Canada. Elles étaient insérées dans les paquets de cigarettes ou de tabac. La plupart des cartes concernent l'histoire de la Nouvelle-France. Sur celle-ci, Samuel de Champlain se rend à Kirke en 1629, mettant fin au siège de la ville de Québec par les Anglais.
