Subseries includes a group of greeting cards in the Biedermeier style, which were used in late 19th-century Germany and Austria to express thoughts of love and friendship. These cards "move" through pullout or foldout windows. Montage cards include games from France, Germany, and Spain (with several "metamorphosis instantaneas") as well as an early example of a Walt Disney metamorphosis toy. Seven original albums with hundreds of illustrated Liebig Extract advertising cards show a broad range of themes appealing to popular imagery.
