A few pages from my copy of the Eccentric Scrapbook. Some of the brands appear multiple times though out the book. The owl logo in particular appears to be a favourite of Ophelia’s. It appears that Ophelia was interested in the illustration and design of the logos and would often cut out the brand name to create a negative space which she filled with coloured paper. Tartan shows up frequently in the compositions, perhaps showing a homesickness for her hometown of Aberdeen, or perhaps because her relatives still living in Scotland would send her scraps for her collection.
The book is crammed full of interesting scraps, far more than one girl could have possibly collected by herself, Ophelia must have had quite a collective of relatives and friends sending her clippings. It seems that a vast majority of the imagery comes from medical related products, presumably from her father.
