Antique Victorian Scrapbook Meriden-Silverplate Etchings, Various Ephemera

Beautiful old book filled with many (Over 150 different items measuring up to 14” x 10”) etchings, postcards and assorted Victorian die cut scraps. Very good condition for the age. Binding is apart. Appears to be from late 1800s - early 1900s (possibly 1870s, 1880s, 1890s, 1900s and 1910s). Lots of black & white but some color pieces as well. Some pages removed previously.
