IMPRIMERIE ATELIER LITHOGRAPHIQUE LES PLUS BELLES COLLECTIONS D'IMAGES SERIE 1 LES SPORTS, NO 10 BASKET-BALL (FRANCE)
I cannot find much information about these sets online, so I'm limited to the information on the back and the few available exemplar images I could find. The year released is just an estimate. The Imprimerie Atelier Lithographique was a printing lithograph workshop in Loire France. This set was released in 4 series, with the 1st series, Les Sports, focused on Olympic sporting events. There were 15 cards in each series for a total of 60 cards. Back is stamped Bon pour Nougat (Good for Nougat), so I assume these could be traded in for a nougat candy. If this is featuring an Olympic event, it must be attributed to the 1936 Olympics, the only games where basketball was played outdoors.
