Visual Materials
One pattern book entitled Design in Dark and Light: Folio No. 2: "Birds", by Rose Netzorg Kerr, published by the Fairbairn Art Company, New York, New York, copyright 1929. This folio consists of 16 numbered and titled plates, within a yellow protective portfolio (which serves as the cover). On one of the flaps of the cover is an explanation of each of the plates in regard to its content and relevant theme. The black and white images are both vertically and horizontally oriented on each plate, and include birds such as sparrows, geese and peacocks. The emphasis of these images is on patterns, motif design and use of space. "Mabel Spofford" is written in ms. at the top of each of the plates.
