Yes but the Victorian trade cards and different litho pieces were also referred to as scraps. I’ve went through several of these Victorian scrapbooks and have alway heard the pieces described as scraps. I just wondered if someone had made the wrong conclusion that these were the scrap tobacco instead of the term scraps for scrapbook.
