History of Scrap Booking
by Debbie
Hamman
I
know we have mostly rubber stamp artists among us, but I thought you might enjoy
a little history on scrapbooking. The information comes from the Encyclopedia of
Ephemera.
Long
before anyone ever heard of acid free, scrapbooks have been apart of culture.
The scrapbook was devised to display a wide range of minor mementoes. It housed
items like feathers, paper cuts, dried sea plants, poems, pressed flowers and
other graphic ephemera. The name for the album was The Common Place Book. The
word scrapbook did not appear till the 1830's. Memory albums which are used
today was coined in the early 1990's.
The
scrap collecting craze started in 1826 due in part to a published book by John
Poole which was titled Manuscript Gleanings and Literary Scrapbook. It presented
creative ways to display poems, journal writings, and plain old scraps. The
first scrap album appeared on the market in 1836. It had ornate covers, separate
title pages, and frames. Early albums had decorative labels, products from scrap
publishers, and simple ads.
Scrapbooks
began in Germany. They had no cut-outs or cropped pictures. Printed pictures
were etched, engraves or lithographed. When they got to Victorian England, even
Queen Victoria had a scrapbook to display in the royal palace.
Die
cutting and stamping appeared in albums by the 1870's. Companies began producing
images just for the album makers. With the invention of the camera in the
1880's, photos appeared on the pages. George Eastman and the Kodak camera
revolutionized scrapbook design.
So
when you watch Carol Duvall and see all those cool scrapbook pages, remember the
phrase---what's old is new again. The scrapbook magazines should take a page
from history. Die-cuts and page layout has been around for over 100 years. Even
with all the hours and money that goes into this hobby, try to remember the
memories of family and friends might be a bit more important than the materials
used to create the album.
