A Break from Pop Corn: An Awesome 1890s Scrapbook

I just didn't feel pop cornish yesterday so the last posting about pop corn varieties, past and present as "heirloom" offerings, didn't get off the drawing board.

Here is something nicer.  Time travel to when creating scrapbooks was great fun and filled many hours with the hunt for colorful illustrations, choosing of the favorites, deciding which went best on a page...not to mention little bottles of mucilage.

This is the 1890s.  Just the right time for my gram to have done it as a little girl.










This is an extraordinary collection.  Someone's relatives got the good catalogs!!
