A cherub tending a birdcage among roses is the particular charm of this die-cut scrap, a small decorative piece built around a figure rather than a scene of devotion. Scraps like this were printed in large numbers in the nineteenth century and sold for pasting into albums, onto cards, and onto household objects. Their paper was pressed or stamped into shapes, so the outline of the figure, the birdcage, and the blossoms all follow the cut. Collectors today often value the bright color and the fine detail that survive on such fragile sheets.
