The Dutch Boy in Story Land
Visual Materials
One painting book entitled The Dutch Boy in Story Land: A Paint Book for Girls and Boys, by O.C. Harn, published by National Lead Company, copyright 1925. The front cover shows Dutch Boy carrying his paint bucket, being greeted by Mother Goose at the head of a parade of fairy tale characters. The back cover features a hand that has made a broad brush stroke within it is the admonition "'Save the surface and you save all' Paint & Varnish." The front inside cover has the copyright information; the inside back cover bears the Dutch Boy trademark and locations of company offices in the United States. The title page shows the Dutch Boy heading into a book with the following rhyme "Into the stories you have read/ He took his famous Dutch Boy Lead,/ And all the characters were glad/ To greet the Dutch Boy Painter Lad." There are 14 images in the book, 7 in color and 7 in outline, plus the front and back-inside covers, and the title page. Each outlined image was to be filled in using the complementary color image at its side as a guide. Some of the images have been filled in using watercolor. There are four perforated tabs at the end of the book--probably where the Decorative and Protective Painting booklet, mentioned on the front cover, would have been included before its removal for use by adults.
