I am guessing mid 19th century

I don't have a copy of the book to take a look

These are housed in a a great old custom wooden box

One of Two Last Batches of Antique Cut Paper Animals painted shoe I am guessing mid 19thTwo last groups of these cut paper animals today; I listed several groups of them a month or two ago, all found together, but held onto some to enjoy a bit longer.

Pure joy. My guess is perhaps a school project many
