About This Item

1865. Fabulous decorative gilt and black ruled red cloth album. Comprising 40 leaves with around 600 intricate cut-outs of commemorative cards and images. Many of these are from early Christmas cards and winter themes - mostly English text. Includes some fabulous flowers, birds, butterflies, traditional dress / costumes and caricatures - mostly French text. All beautifully cut out, then thoughtfully and carefully assembled. One or two are dated. Including an advertising postcard (possibly once perfumed) for Rimmel, dated 1865. Therefore, we assume it was created during the period 1860 - 1875. Boards are bumped on corners but otherwise the gilt clean and bright. Endpapers are toned / lightly foxed. Each leaf has a blank verso, but the cuts have transferred their shapes onto the verso preceding. 300 x 250 mm (11¾ x 9¾ inches). Fabuleux album décoratif en toile rouge lignée dorée et noire. Composé de 40 feuilles avec environ 600 découpes complexes de cartes et d'images commémoratives. Beaucoup d'entre eux proviennent des premières cartes de Noël et des thèmes d'hiver - principalement du texte anglais. Comprend des fleurs fabuleuses, des oiseaux, des papillons, des vêtements / costumes traditionnels et des caricatures - principalement du texte en français. Tous magnifiquement découpés, puis soigneusement et soigneusement assemblés. Un ou deux sont datés. Y compris une carte postale publicitaire (peut-être une fois parfumée) pour Rimmel, datée de 1865. Par conséquent, nous supposons qu'elle a été créée au cours de la période 1860 - 1875. Les plats sont émoussés sur les coins mais sinon la dorure est propre et lumineuse. Les pages de garde sont toniques/légèrement renards. Chaque feuillet a un verso vierge, mais les coupes ont transféré leurs formes sur le verso précédent. 300 x 250 mm.
