One drawing book entitled Little Darlings' Drawing Book, published by Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd., London, ca. 1900. The chromolithograph image on the front cover shows a young girl, with a rabbit in her lap, drawing in a book; the lower-left corner bears the series title Father Tuck's Little Artists' Series. The back cover features a girl running next to a hoop. The company's trademark and "No. 3625" are in the lower left-hand corner above design and printing locations--England and Germany, respectively. The book has 16 pages of outline images, and tracing paper overlays. The images depict children at play, or are scenes from children's stories and are variously signed "MB", "EH". "M Bowley" or "Edith Taylor"; some are unsigned. Seven of the outline images have been filled in using colored pencils or crayons; others have been traced. Across the top of the front cover, the name "Miss Hazel Wheeler" has been written in pencil. Inside the front cover, also in pencil, is "Hazel Wheeler. Christmas 1904." On the back cover, in the upper right-hand corner, is a price sticker with "8--" written in ink.
