The earliest materials explicitly produced as die-cut “scrap” fordecorating homemade albums were black-and-white, hand-colored etchings. Aslithography processes improved, bright colors, textured embossing, and glossyfinishes were employed to enhance the printed imagery.By the late 1800s,Britain,Germany, and theUnitedStateshad become the leaders in such scrap production.
