Suchard Series 249 Portrait Cards

1980?  Twelve numbered cards in strong portrait format (2⅜" x 4⅛") distributed among five "families" of Suchard: Chocolat, Velma, Milka, Cacao, and Noisettine.  €25 from Albert Van den Bosch, Antwerp, Belgium, Feb., '12.  BF from olivier9682 through Ebay for €6.50, July, '22.

Some of these cards still have the feel that the powder with which they came is still on them.  Strong colors and simple forms mark these cards, which are quite different from the more traditional Suchard landscape cards.  The identifying numbers between "1" and "12" can be hard to find but they are there in the  corner of the image segment.
