    Visual Materials

    One painting book entitled Painting Plays for Rainy Days, And Easy Drawing Lessons, by J. H. Willard, published by Thompson & Thomas, Chicago, 1902. [Note: the imprint information for this record is taken from the title on the title page, which differs slightly from the cover.] The book is approximately 200 unnumbered pages in length. The front cover is a chromolithograph of three kittens playing with a paint box and brushes. The back cover is not illustrated. The illustrations inside the book are a combination of chromolithographs and outline images for painting. Some of the pictures are accompanied by rhymes or instructional text. The images seem to progress throughout the book from simple (drawing straight lines) to increasingly more complex (patterns and designs). These include scenes of children at play, patterns, designs, fruits and vegetables, animals and buildings. Also included are lessons in perspective and proportion. Many of the images have been colored with watercolor .
