A child holding a sword beside a large gold letter A sets this scrap apart from the many cherubs on the board. Die-cut scraps like this were printed in color on thin paper, cut out along their outlines, and traded or pasted into albums during the late 1800s. Makers often used figures like this as decorative motifs, and the gold initial may point to a monogram or a lettered greeting. Collectors today look closely at the crisp edges and the metallic accents that survive on well-preserved examples.
