Nice find. These must be the circus scenes or the actresses; the pugilists could not have appeared before 1893. Neither of these 2 sets are "cutout" in the sense they have cuts or are die-cut or are stand-up type cards. The subjects are portrayed without much of a background, so perhaps it is referring to that aesthetic of portrayal.
