Mono Card No. 32 “Elchina”, illustration by Max Tilke. The front shows an exotic scene: a weakened llama resting in a forest, watched by two figures hidden among the trees. On the reverse, a long advertising text presents Elchina, a quinine-based elixir, highlighting its fortifying and tonic effects, as well as the legend surrounding its discovery.
Mono cards were small collectible advertisements, printed in lithography on strong paper, distributed by companies.
