Visual Materials
One booklet entitled A Course of Free-Hand, Model, and Object Drawing: Designed for Primary, Grammar, and High Schools, by Professor Walter Smith, published by Noyes, Holmes, and Company, Boston, 1872. At the bottom of the cover is printed, "J.W.C. Gilman, Agent." This booklet consists of 16 unnumbered pages, including the front and back covers. It appears to be a publisher's advertisement for the Smith drawing system and its products. The first few pages are advertisements for drawing slates, drawing-cards and drawing books. The next few pages are an overview of the general method of the system, and "Specimen Pages from 'The Teachers' Companion'", with white-on-black illustrations. The back cover (also the last page) are listed "Reasons for Adopting the American Drawing Series", signed by J.W.C. Gilman, Agent for Introduction. The front cover of this advertisement features an illustration of a drawing slate and drawing cards.
