描述

《轉糖》選自《煙畫三百六十行》,是附在香煙包裡的贈品畫片,盛行於一九五〇年之前。
小販在街頭架一圓桌,上面畫有格子。每個格子內放糖果、筆墨、小刀等小玩意。中間支柱有帶指針的
標尺,用手一撥靈活轉動,標尺停在那一格內,格中之物便為其所有。吸引孩童看得目不轉睛。
Much like baseball cards, cigarette cards were issued by tobacco manufacturers in China during the 1920s~1950s, to promote cigarette brands. Subject matters ranged from beautiful women, Western curios, Peking opera, etc.One favorite theme was the “360 trades”, which is an expression used to mean all trades. This particular cigarette card depicts a street vendor —— the candy man, sitting in front of a round table drawn with squares in which are placed different types and sizes of candies. By turning the wheel, depending on where the pointer lands, a child can win a large piece of candy, or a token piece of hardened molasses.
