A woman dressed in blue cornflowers sets this scrap apart from the winged angels and spirits around it, since she is a flower maiden rather than a heavenly figure. Die-cut scraps like this were printed in color, cut along their outlines, and sold for pasting into albums, scrapbooks and greeting cards. Fanciful figures dressed as flowers, insects and seasons were especially popular in the Victorian and Edwardian years, when children and adults alike collected this kind of paper ephemera. Look closely at the printed detail in the petals and at how the cut edge follows the figure's silhouette.
