Drawing and Painting Exercises After Models for Children
Visual Materials
One boxed painting set entitled Drawing and Painting Exercises After Models for Children, manufactured by W. & S. B., ca. 1885. The set is comprised of 7 sheets of paper for drawing and painting, a paper palette onto which 6 small round cakes of watercolor paints are mounted, and 11 cutout stencils made from engravings. Also included is one stencil of the initials "OEL." The 11 "specimens" include a woman holding a bowl, a man with an apron full of fruit, and various farm animals. The box that houses these materials is made of light wood and paperboard, and is hinged along the left-hand side, so it opens as a book does. Instructions are printed on the cover: "Take one of the specimens, place it on the white paper and with the pencil describe the outline of it. The figure thus sketched may be finished off by coloring with the paints. - Another mode, by placing the models on paper and marking only a few of the principal points to be afterwards continued to complete, the specimen will be found to greatly improve and increase the taste for drawing." "Orin E. Littlefield, Kittery" is written in ms., in pencil, on the back of the box. The seven sheets of paper contain original and traced artwork. One of the cakes of paint is missing from the palette, and only fragments remain of two others.
