Very OT, but would appreciate some info...

Hello everyone -- forgot my password, guessed too many times, got locked out, and had to create a brandy new login. [This is the login formerly known as josepheenella]. I'm sorry for the off topic post -- I recently picked up a fun old card, but I can't find any information on it, and am hoping that someone might recognize it. It reminds me of the 1888 R&S Artistic Series die-cuts (in its style of drawing/illustration, and especially the coloring of the grassy "base" that the figures are standing on.) But it's obviously not a baseball themed card -- and I've never seen any non-baseball cards in the R&S series. Anyone have any clue at all what this is? Thanks very much -- again, sorry for the OT question! |

They are Victorian scraps. Late 1800s scraps were largely embossed punchouts intended to be put into albums or otherwise decorate things. Scraps include all sorts of subjects, including angels, animals, flowers, snails, birds, etc. They were popularly collected by kids in the later 1800s. |
