The earliest materials explicitly produced as die-cut “scrap” for decorating homemade albums were black-and-white, hand-colored etchings. As lithography processes improved, bright colors, textured embossing, and glossy finishes were employed to enhance the printed imagery. By the late 1800s,   Britain,   Germany, and the   United States   had become the leaders in such scrap production. Successful companies like Currier & Ives and Raphael Tuck & Sons created beautiful scrap pieces alongside smaller brands like Allen & Ginter and Littauer & Boysen. But the German die cuts are considered the best because of the details of their tooling process."     Measures Approx:  3-1/2" W  x 2-1/2" H.  Smallest 1" W x  1-1/2" H.  Condition: Corners and edges are slightly worn.
