Visual Materials
One painting book entitled Palette Painting Book, published by McLoughlin Bros., New York, copyright 1892. The cover of the painting book shows a young man holding a painted image while a young girl takes his arm. The back cover depicts a watercolor set, water, brushes, paint tube, and compass. The inside front cover lists "a few practical instructions for young painters" including suggestions on what colors to include in the student's watercolor set and how to mix them. The book is designed so that the student studies a colored image and then apply color to an outline image. There are a total of 22 images: eleven in color and eleven in outline. The images depict various scenes of people, children, animals, and nursery rhyme characters with tag lines at the bottom. None of the images have been filled in. A "10.00" is penciled in on the upper-right corner of the title page.
