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 set of twelve produced by Signumd Hildesheimer & Company depicting Shakespearean characters played by popular actors. They were sold in packs costing one shilling, titled <i>Characters from Shakespeare. A Series of Twelve Relief Scraps</i>. William Terriss (1847-1897) and Mary Anderson (1859-1940), seen here as Romeo and Juliet, starred in <i>Romeo and Juliet</i> at London's Lyceum Theatre, 8 March 1882.","physicalDescription":"Full-colour chromolithograph scrap mounted on black paper depicting William Terriss as Romeo embracing Mary Anderson as Juliet, standing on the balcony with a rope ladder hanging from the balustrade of the balcony behind them. To the left of Romeo's head is printed some of the dialogue from the balcony scene with the attribution 'ROMEO AND JULIET ACT III Scene 5.' The scrap is complete with the name of the series: CHARACTERS FROM SHAKESPEARE SHEET 11, the number 438 and the monogram of the printer.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Siegmund Hildesheimer & Co.","id":"A21308"},"association":{"text":"printer","id":"x30811"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Printed paper","categories":[{"text":"Entertainment & Leisure","id":"THES48959"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&P","id":"THES48602"},"images":["2010EJ7578"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"006","id":"THES356631"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"scrap","id":""}],[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1890","earliest":"1885-01-01","latest":"1894-12-31"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"AAT53319"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"S.1:1-2008","id":"O143447"},"association":"Duplicate"},{"object":{"text":"S.1:2-2008","id":"O145551"},"association":"Object"},{"object":{"text":"S.1:3-2008","id":"O1110940"},"association":"Object"},{"object":{"text":"S.1:4-2008","id":"O1110939"},"association":"Object"}],"creditLine":"Given by the British Theatre Museum Association","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"14.9","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"12.9","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Monogram, entwined letters S.H & Co., printed in gold","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Monogram of Siegmund Hildesheimer & Co,.
