silk picture

this is a combination of silk and litho on paper, embossed.. they were rare when i was a girl, the ones i had were probably ripped out of the albums of the mothers of the girls who glued them in my poesie album..
(poesie album, an album in which your friends and family wrote little poems and added pictures, like this one.. can anyone tell me what they were called in English? and the little pictures?)

We had autograph books and I have a fine collection of similar cards that belonged to Husband's Grandparents ... but don't know what these cards are called in English ...
