Bartholomew's Drawing Book, No. 2 and No. 3
Visual Materials
Two drawing books entitled Bartholomew's Drawing Book, No. 2 and No. 3, by William N. Bartholomew, published by Shepard, Clark & Brown, Boston (No. 2) and by Cyrus G. Cooke, Boston (No. 3), 1855. Each book is comprised of numbered half-sheets on which there is an image to be copied, interleaved with blank whole sheets for copying and completing each of the exercises. The majority of exercises within both books are buildings, such as houses, sheds, and barns. The front covers feature identical design and typeface elements; the title words are above and below an image of a right hand, holding a pencil to paper. The front cover illustration is signed by J. W. Orr., N.Y. Book No. 2 contains 12 numbered exercises (nos. 13-24, not in sequential order). The inside front cover lists 29 questions pertaining to the lessons learned in Book 1. These are followed by "Observations and Suggestions to the Teacher". This copy is lacking the back cover. Book No. 3 contains 9 numbered exercises (25-36: various). On the inside front cover of book No. 3 is a full-page "Note to the Teacher", in which there are outlined 5 general instructions. Both the outside and insides of the back cover are blank. A scene has been drawn on the inside of the back cover. Both books 2 and 3 have been completed, and both contain additional original artwork that is not part of the numbered exercises, and these have been completed as well.
