One drawing book entitled Spencerian Drawing-Book, No. 2, by Henry Hitchings, published by Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor & Co., New York and Chicago, copyright 1871. This book contains 24 lessons, two per a single half sheet, and accompanied by a full-size plain sheet for copying, so that the model lithograph illustration is next to the plain sheet. In this particular booklet, each lesson leaf is bound in backwards, so that Lesson II appears first, and Lesson I is on the verso, and the booklet continues in that manner. General textual instructions and instructions for each of the lessons begin on the inside of the front cover, continue on to the inside of the back cover, and end on the back cover. The lessons progress from simple to more complex images; Lesson I is of simple boxes; later lessons include various pieces of furniture, columns and buckets. Each of the lessons has been completed in pencil, and some are signed in ms. "A.M. Thayer 1874". The front cover is illustrated with a view of a young woman, seated at a writing desk, pencil in hand. Below the title is "Prepared by H. Hitchings, Teacher of Drawing in the English High School of Boston, Massachusetts. Late of the United States Naval School at Annapolis, Maryland." Also on the front cover, in the upper right-hand corner, is "Annie M. Thayer. Sep., Oct. & Nov. 1874.", written in ms.
