Visual Materials
One tracing book entitled Kopeefun Magic Copy Paper Kit, manufactured by the Embree Manufacturing Company, Elizabeth, New Jersey, copyright 1940. The front cover bears a color illustration of a family of four using a Kopeefun kit; the title is below the image. The back cover contains promotional text for the drawing kit, and declares Kopeefun kits "Fun for Everyone from 5 to 55." "Pat. pending, Copyright 1940" is printed on the bottom of the back cover. The book contains 24 unnumbered leaves of images and partial images for copying by rubbing. The kit includes several sheets of "magic paper", which are placed over an image and then rubbed with a hard edged tool (such as a butter knife). The printed image is transferred to the magic paper, which, in turn, can be transferred to another sheet of paper or any surface. The first few pages of this book contain directions and suggestions for use, and the remaining leaves contain elements of cartoons and images. For example, there is a leaf of hairstyles, another of hats, another of mouths, etc. These can be combined to create a wide variety of images.
