The images for
which these scrapbooks have been created were random oddments cut
from a variety of prints, engravings, newspapers and magazines.
Also included upon the scrapbook pages were prose and poems as well
as watercolour paintings. Scrapbooks were full of many types of
reliefs which ranged from animals to clowns, ethnic people, pop
ups, gnomes, boys and girls at play, as well as many other subjects
of all kinds. Scrapbooks also contained images that illustrated
historical as well as popular events of the time. While flipping
through the scrapbookÕs pages the sheer inventiveness of the compilers
never ceases to amaze the observer.
