Embossers used to make gold seals for mining stock certificates.

A small part of the embossed (faded) design on a bottle of men's cologne. I liked the design and the name (1 Million) and kept this old empty bottle in a cabinet for a future photo. So today is the day for it.

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !!
Today is a blue day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Looking close on Friday is embossed glass. Surprisingly it was a difficult theme for me… I have lots of embossed glass props in my house but I could not decide on a concept for this picture… And since I’m super busy at work I had almost no time to think about my pictures for this week. So, in the end I decided to go with a candy bowl I got at a garage sale few years ago. It isn’t super old but it is vintage for sure. It is embossed glass, there is no doubt about it. And since we are talking about glass, I had to use my lens ball in this picture. I hope you will like it.
FYI: I’m very busy at work so I might not be able to answer your comments… So comment at your own risks ! However, I will read everything for sure !
Mucho, mucho amor for you !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !
This is a cigarette box I got from my daughter. Not that I still smoked, but then I could do something else in it.
Dit is een sigarettendoosje die ik van mijn dochter gekregen. Niet dat ik nog rookte, maar dan kon ik er wel wat anders in doen.
Scrapbooking was a popular pastime in Victorian times for both children and adults. Creating a scrapbook was not only a craft project, it was also a way of preserving memories.
In the 1800s, the automated printing press was invented. Suddenly books and printed material became much more widely available. As well as writing in their commonplace books, people began to cut out and stick in printed items. Things like greeting cards, calling cards, postcards, prayer cards, advertising trading cards and newspaper clippings were collected. Some of these books contained a mix of personal journal entries, hand-drawn sketches and watercolours, along with various scraps of printed material. These books were literally books of scraps.
By the 1820s, collectable scraps had become more elaborate. Some items were embossed: a process by which a die (a metal stamp for cutting or pressing) was punched into the reverse side of the paper, giving the front a raised three-dimensional appearance.
In 1837, the first year of Queen Victoria's reign, the colour printing process known as chromolithography was invented. This lead to the production of ‘ready made’ scraps. Brightly coloured and embossed scraps were sold in sheets with the relief stamped out to the approximate shape of the image. These pre-cut scraps were connected by small strips of paper to keep them in place. The laborious task of cutting out small pictures was thus removed, and sales of scraps went soaring. Many of the best-quality scraps of the period were produced in Germany, where bakers and confectioners used small reliefs to decorate cakes and biscuits for special occasions such as christenings, weddings, Christmas and Easter.
These embossed chromolithograph scraps are of German and British in origin and date from the 1880s.
The circus themed cards with their gilding are part of a set of eight which are French (although unmarked) and date from the 1870s.
