All albums have the same set-up : a front page, followed by an 8-page index of all arms and then 20 pages to glue or stick the images.  All indicate that it is the first album, but the second was never published (see above). As the cards could be collected over a long period of time, the cards inside each album can not be used for dating a specific album.

There are no indications to the dates when the different albums were published. As the cards could be collected over a long period of time, the cards inside each album can not be used for dating a specific album. The four albums that I am aware of, can be placed in a logical sequence though, based on name and population figures.


===Album 1===
===Album 1===
Album 1 has on the cover a female figure holding two (unidentified) coats of arms. The first page and index is in black. Population figures are identical to albums 2 and 3, but lower as in album 4. The population figures listed correspond to figures in Wikipedia from around 1900, hence a decade before the album was published. All other texts seem to be nearly identical in all albums.

Album 4 is the most commonly seen album. The cover is identical to album 3, but monochromatic black/brown. Index is printed in green with a different lay-out and updated population figures as compared to albums 1-3. Some small other textual changes.
