By the 1820s they had become more elaborate and sometimes embossed, and within a decade both the printing and embossing processes were automated. They were colour printed by chromolithography, and coated with a gelatine and gum layer to give them a gloss finish. After being embossed they were die-cut and put through a stamping press to cut away the unwanted areas of paper, leaving the individual images connected by small strips, often bearing the name or initials of the maker.\r\n\r\nScraps became extremely popular in Victorian England to be cut out by adults or children and stuck into albums, on to screens, or used for decorating greetings cards. This scrap is one of a series depicting Shakespearean characters played by popular actors and features the actress Kate Terry (1844-1924) who played Prince Arthur in Charles Kean's 1852 production of <i>King John</i> at the Princess's Theatre when she was eight years old.","physicalDescription":"Multicoloured paper scrap as manufactured for cutting out, with printed lines of text, depicting Mr. G.
