Chocolat Poulain advertising trade card
A fine French rugby trade card ... from John's collection again.
Strange rugby kit indeed... It looks very much like the 1880s... I don't know any French club with such colours... or is it just the imagination of the artist...
Edited 21 Feb : John is sharing with us the back of this card... If you understand French, I encourage you to read this fancy description of rugby rules (full size pic here) that brings evidence that the people who made the card had never heard whatsoever about rugby... even as it was at the end of the XIXth century...

They look like Australian rules footballers - how interesting!
Particularly given the Aust rules footballers think they everything
about their game is unique (and invented by them!).
