France has a long tradition of issuing boxing cards starting in the early 20th century. There were two distinct peaks of French boxing card issuance: the late 1920's/early 1930's and several years after World War II. Both coincided with the rise of talented French boxers, some of whom are represented here: Battling Siki, Marcel Cerdan, Marcel Thil, Georges Carpentier, and Charles Humez.
