This is a set of 23 out of 28 chromo cards entitled Al Polo Norte en Dirigible. It is by a composite of two Spanish Chocolate companies: Chocolates Riucord and Xocolata Viladas. The story is about the 1928 Italian expedition of Umberto Nobile with the airship Italia. During the third flight, on 25 May, the airship crashed and several members of the expedition were stranded on floating ice, Adalberto Malmgren with an injured shoulder among them. On 30 May Malmgren, together with Italian officers Filippo Zappi and Adalberto Mariano, decided to walk back to King's Bay for help. On 15/16 June Malmgren collapsed and asked to be left behind. On 11 July the Soviet pilot Chukhnovsky, from the icebreaker Krasin, sighted Mariano and Zappi and also Malmgren's body. Mariano and Zappi were rescued the next day; the body of Finn Malmgren was not found. This is a very rare set. LCC

CAA 002This is a complete set of 30 Spanish chromo cards entitled Expedicion al Polo Norte by a composite of different Spanish chocolate makers: Luis Comet, Chocolates Vinas, Chocolate Angelical and Chocolates Torrent. Undated but late 19th or early 20th century. Appears to be fiction, with the ship named Nautilus but no names given to any of the expedition members. So the collection touches upon all the archetypes of polar exploration at a time when there was great interest in reaching the North Pole. All cards have descriptions on the back and some have advertising on back as well. A rare set. ECC
