Note: Celluloid pinbacks, a type of button, were popular from the 1890s to the 1940s as a cheap way of conveying a political message or advertising anything from food and clothing to movies and tobacco. In 1896 the first pinback was a textile surface covered with a thin layer of transparent celluloid. Later on the textile was replaced with lithographed paper (cheaper),

The celluloid was the first type of plastic used.

Like miniature art, from a time when not only travel was romantic, but how things were made was romantic.

To create an item that most likely was intended to throw away with the involved printing process of lithographs, is a romantic hands on process vs the machine made metal pin-backs of today.

Some pinbacks are hard to find today because so many were simply worn and thrown away.
