  Kopeefun Magic Copy Paper Kit

  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.

  Kopeefun Magic Copy Paper

  Visual Materials

  This collection contains approximately 700 pieces of ephemera that along with more than 500 separately cataloged books form the Diana Korzenik Collection of Art Education representing the evolution of art education in the United States from mainly 1800 to 1950. The collection was assembled by Massachusetts professor Diana Korzenik over a period of nearly three decades, and the ephemera is composed of instructional materials (e.g. art instruction manuals, art reproductions, drawing books, drawing cards, painting books, penmanship books, etc.), objects (e.g. boxed painting sets, drawing slates, models, drawing desks, colored pencils, crayons, paint, etc.) and non-instructional materials (e.g. promotional materials, scrapbooks, coursework by Korzenik's students, catalogs, etc.). With the exception of the Mabel Spofford archive, which she purchased as a whole, Korzenik pursued each item individually with the aim of assembling frequently overlooked and misunderstood material.
