===Series===
This is a large series of trade cards, showing the arms and flags of countries. The series is not dated, but based on the images on the cards, as well as the names of countries, can be dated as <1918. The series was printed in Holland, but the printer, nor the designer is known.
 
As trade cards the series was issued by a number of Dutch companies :
::[[Arms and Flags (Honig)|Honig]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Kraepelien)|Kraepelien & Holm]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Neelmeijer)|Neelmeijer]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Smith)|Smith]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Van Dijk)|Van Dijk]]
::[[Arms and Flags (Paul Kaiser)|Paul Kaiser]]
Some of the series are numbered and all numbered series indicate that 72 cards were issued.
 
As tobacco cards the series was issued by [[Arms and Flags (James)|James]] in the UK.
 
As postcards the series was issued by [[EFA Postcards|EFA]] (the Excelsior Fine Art Company) for the UK market and by the Dutch firm [[Arms and Flags (Spit & De Vletter)|Spit & De Vletter]] as appointment cards.
 
==Company==
Kraepelien &amp; Holm was a company based in Zeist, the Netherlands, producing (semi-)pharmaceutical products. According to the cards the company produced asthma-cigarettes, cough- and other pastilles, cocoa surrogates and similar items. At present a company with the same name is based in Oosterwolde, the Netherlands, producing liquorice.
 
Besides the (early) cards in this series, the company has issued many series with completely different designs, mainly between 1930 and 1940.   
 
         
==Cards==
For all known cards see [http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Category:Kraepelien_%26_Holm here].
 
Unlike the cards issued by other companies, there are a lot of variations known in colour design for Kraepelien & Holm. In addition to this, the cards have been issued with two different backs, resulting in a large number of variations in this series.
