Antique Scherenschnitte (Cut Paper) Collage from Victorian Scrapbook bears and cat very early 20th century firstI never cease to be amazed by the laborious precision of antique Scherenschnitte designs like these, and love this old scrapbook composition of four examples, including a peacock! Very nicely done, and with gold paint on the bird for punctuation, and pin prick detailing on the larger flowers and peacock, all mounted to dark blue paper that was pasted into a scrapbook, with some of the opposite page visible on the backside. 6 1 2" x 4 1 4". Very good
