    One painting book entitled Betty's Painting Book, published by Stecher Lith. Co., Rochester, New York, 1917. This book is composed of 12 unnumbered pages of chromolithograph and outline illustrations, the latter meant for painting. The front cover is a vivid chromolithograph of a seated girl, painting in watercolor. The words "Instructive, Entertaining" are printed at the top of the cover, one word in each corner. "No. 38" is printed in the lower right-hand corner, and the cover illustration is signed "Maynard Evans Price". The back cover is the same image, in reverse. The title of the book is repeated at the top of the inside front cover; beneath it is a 6-stanza rhyme which provides instructions for using the book. On the inside of the back cover is the last outline image for coloring. Each page contains a child or pair of children from different countries; some pages contain just an outline image, others contain both a chromolithograph image and an outline image. Each is accompanied by a brief rhyme; for example: "This English mite is shy tho bright, And always kind to pets you'll find." None of the images have been colored.
