Antique advertising typically includes ephemera such as calendars, postcards, trade cards, almanacs, leaflets and flyers. During the Victorian era, broadsides were commonly used for outdoor advertisements and were printed for placement on walls, sides of buildings, and fences. This wide range of collectable items was originally designed to be short-lived and cover all aspects of everyday papers from bookmarks to birth certificates and marriage licenses. Disposable paper items such as trade cards, die-cuts and greeting cards were collected by both children and adults and pasted into Victorian scrap books. These decorative albums were composed of "scraps," collectible cards, and trade cards, which were sometimes arranged quite artistically on a page.
