Few Victorian scraps match this one for sheer sweetness: a die-cut angel with golden curls, floating on a bank of stylized clouds. Cut-paper scraps like this were pasted into albums, used on greeting cards and sent as tokens of affection, especially at Christmas, birthdays and for the sending of sympathy. Their makers stamped each figure out with a steel die, which allowed large print runs of delicate, lacy shapes that a hand knife could never produce so evenly. Notice the hair, rendered in gilt-tinted curls, and the soft, rounded edges that show how carefully the die was made.
