Today's popular hobby of scrapbooking originated in the nineteenth
century, when the first chromolithographic prints made colorful images
readily available to eager audiences. This reproduction of a rare
scrapbook from 130 years ago reflects the creative enthusiasm that
greeted the new medium. It also offers fascinating perspectives on a
woman's thoughts and dreams during the late Victorian era.
A bonus CD-ROM, featuring digital files of all of the illustrations in
the book, can be easily used for any projects. Modern scrapbookers,
cardmakers, advertisers, and all users of digital imagery will find this
scrapbook a practical archive of vintage material as well as a timeless
source of inspiration.
