Scrapbooks In the early 1800s some beautiful albums of high quality were produced having elaborately tooled leather covers, gold embossed frames with gold foil writings, engraved clasps, and brass locks. Some contained printed pages embossed with birds and flowers to give people ideas for choosing a theme for their collection. The first scrapbook cover shows decorative gold gilt-stamped lettering on green paper half bound in imitation russet leather. The second scrapbook cover shows the image of a little girl in an elaborate gold embossed frame on red paper.
