Burgos I – Fototipia Hauser y Menet, Madrid (Early 20th Century)
This listing is for a complete set of 100 early 20th‑century Spanish postcards, housed in a blue gilted Burgos I box. The set was produced by Fototipia Hauser y Menet, one of the most important postcard publishers in Spain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. All cards are numbered sequentially from 1 to 100, confirming a full and intact series.
Publisher and Production Details
The cards were printed by Fototipia Hauser y Menet, a Madrid‑based firm known for high‑quality collotype and phototype production. Their numbered city series were issued in limited runs and are now considered scarce, especially when found in complete form. The perforated edges indicate original booklet or tear‑off production, consistent with Hauser y Menet’s early multi‑card series.
All cards in this set are unposted, unwritten.
This is a complete 1–100 series, with no missing numbers and no cards above 100. Hauser y Menet’s 100‑card city sets are significantly less common than their smaller 10‑, 20‑, or 25‑card issues. Complete survival of a full 100‑card run in its original gilt-lettered box is unusual and highly collectible.
Condition
Cards are unposted with no writing.The blue gilted box shows typical age‑related wear but remains intact.
Vintage‑Item Disclaimer
