These are more pictures from the scrapbook I found at Goodwill a couple of months ago.
When I opened it up, I was amazed — it is full of hundreds of clippings of movie and stage stars from about 1916.
Someone compiled a scrapbook from issues of Photoplay and other magazines. Many times she cut out the photographs precisely, and glued the images into the book. But most of the images are just loose, tucked between the pages.
The condition of the clippings is amazing. The paper is not brittle or yellowed. Wherever this book has been for the last 90 years, it was kept safe.
I am gradually photographing most of the items from the book. There are many, many more pictures, though.
In this case, the scrapbook keeper had cut this page up to put in the book, but never got around to trimming it or pasting it in.
