History of Die-Cuts
During The Victorian Era (1837-1901), middle class households would often have a family scrap album
where the bits of paper collected each day could be collages onto thick paper. Items favored for collecting where
Paper Dolls, Postcards, Business cards, Ribbons, newspaper clippings and Paper Scrap.
One type of diecut, chromolithographed ephemera was called ?scraps?, small (usually) and colorful images of all sorts of things, generally embossed. These were avidly collected by women and children, and often creatively combined into composite images in scrapbooks. Germany produced high quality scraps.
