Visual Materials

Three drawing books entitled American Text-Books of Art Education, Clark Edition, No. 5, No. 8, and No. 9, published by L. Prang & Co., Boston, 1882-1886. These books are each 20 pages in length, and contain numbered exercises of lithograph illustrations, which emphasize line and form (Book No. 5); construction and representation (Book No. 8); and construction, representation and Roman decoration (Book No. 9). The front covers are decoratively bordered. The inside of the front cover of each features a "Special Notice to Teachers", which explains the use of this book. Book No. 8 also contains an advertisement for Prang's Models for Drawing on the inside of the front cover. A publisher's advertisement for "Prang's American Text-Books of Art Education: a course of instruction in drawing for public schools" begins on the inside of the back cover and continues onto the back cover of Book No. 5. This same advertisement is just on the back covers of Books 8 and 9. The exercises within consist of illustrations, patterns and designs of a relatively simple nature, often floral and leafy designs. Each of the exercises is textually and visually explained, with space for continuation or copying. Most of the exercises in each of the 3 books have been copied by a previous owner. "Mary Jones" and "1.00" (price) are written in ms. at the top of the front cover of Book No. 5. "Lucius Tompkins" is written in ms., along the spine side, on the front cover of Book No. 8. Book No. 5 is smaller than the other two. The dimensions provided are for Books 8 and 9.
