When we were kids, many girls used to have a "Poesiealbum", a small book where friends, only friends! had to write something poetical or morally instructive in verses. The handwriting had to be very accurate, at times you saw remnants of pencil lines below the words ..
These writings often were adorned by small images kids bought from the stationary shop: flowers or couples of children, hearts ...
This German tradition seems to be extinct.
We still like decorating our writings with images, though.
