A die-cut Washington framed by flags and a ribbon banner gives this piece its decorative character: the paper was cut to the shape of the figure and its trim, so the outline itself is part of the design. Printed paper ornaments like this were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when they were used on greeting cards, scrapbook pages, and party decorations. They were often displayed around Washington's Birthday in February, when patriotic imagery was everywhere. Look closely at the layered flags and lettering, which show how much color and detail printers could pack into a small, inexpensive piece of paper.
