ListIn this category, scrapbooks refer to decorative albums composed of "scraps," collectible cards, and trade cards, which were sometimes arranged quite artistically on a page. It was fashionable for young women to include bright colored advertisement cards when creating these scrapbooks in the late 19th century. Advertisement and business cards are included in the four selected books. The images under each scrapbook are listed as they appear in the scrapbook itself.
