’Tis the season for a biscuit set inspired by Victorian scrapbooking. 🍪

These festive scraps come from two scrapbooks in the @Powerhouse Collection, both thought to have been compiled by children between 1880 and 1890.

@oldenoughtosay I thought it was the weird almost circular drain pipe on the back of the house at first….

@alyssaleann We have the ‘troner’ instead of remote controller, and ‘barnarnars’ instead of bananas.

@liamsims I loved mine. I made notes on each chapter and my key contributions. I also noted down where I think I had gaps or where I would have done things differently. It was not the terrifying thing I built it up to be in my mind! My best bit of advice is to take the evening off before!

[Dr Michelle Leonforte @EarlyModernMiss]
