Visual Materials
One drawing book entitled The Little Draughtsman, published by J. Scholz, Mayence (Mainz?), ca. 1850. This book is comprised of 8 leaves of illustrations. Each page is divided into 2 to 4 sections; some contain an image in outline form against a grid and another next to it without the grid and 2 spaces for copying; on other pages the image is printed once and space for copying is left next to or below the image. The first page is numbered "6", but all other pages are unnumbered. Some of the images included are an elephant, fruit, and a woman carrying a basket. The front cover is printed in red ink on yellow paper, and features a decorative frame and vignettes of children in the center. Additional, explanatory text on the front cover below the title reads: "a series of little books containing the elements of every species of the art of drawing, offers to the pupil but very easy models, which he may copy, either with the pen or pencil. The little draughtsman tends to exercise the hand of the little ones, to sharpen the eye and to excite the liking to free-hand drawing. By the choice of its models, its handy size and moderate price, this collection has become very popular amongst our youth."
