One boxed set of paper stencils entitled For the Kindergarten, For Little Folks, Drawing Made Easy, manufactured by [McLoughlin Bros.], ca. 1890. The set is comprised of 6 large paper stencils. The scenes of the stencils are named on the box lid: "Dutch Wind Mill, German Village, French Convent, New Navy, Old Navy, Summer Home." Accompanying the stencils are 4 illustrations made using the stencils. The stencils are housed within a paperboard box that bears a chromolithograph-illustrated label on the top lid. The label image depicts a boy who is drawing at a table. This image is surrounded by the title and a decorative border. The manufacturer's name is not present on the box nor on the stencils, but the set is very similar to sets 3 and 4 in Box 81, and was probably made by the same manufacturer. Also accompanying this set are four additional, smaller, paper stencils.
