  The Artistic Painting Book

  Visual Materials

  One painting book entitled The Artistic Painting Book, published by International Art Publishing Co., Ltd., London and New York. The book has a hole (as in a palette) cut through the upper-left hand corner. The front cover shows a young lad painting a landscape at an easel. The back cover depicts two song birds on a thorny branch with berries, overlooking a farm. The book contains 69 pages of images, both in outline and complementary color image formats. The majority of the images have no complementary color image, so presumably the student was to paint the image as instructed by a teacher or parent. The majority of the images have been filled in, using watercolor wax crayon (or colored pencil), and chalk. Many of the outlines are very light and some were traced over in pencil prior to being filled in. One image of two girls has been labeled "Elfrida" and "Beatrice" and the title page has been copied, in wax crayon or color pencil, on the inside front cover. In the upper-right corner of the title page has been written, in pencil, "6 Full Color Plates #40 amu/22--."

  The Easel Painting Book

  Visual Materials

  One painting book entitled The Easel Painting Book: With Pictures that Children can "easily" paint, published by Ernest Nister, London, and distributed in the United States by E.P. Dutton & Co., New York, ca. 1890. The front cover of the book shows two children at an easel- a little girl holding a palette and paint brushes, a boy kneeling and playing with a dog. The book has been cut to fit the image on the cover so it has irregular edges. On the inside front cover is the note "To Inez Kimball from Aunt Inez, Christmas 1890." The book contains various images tied to nursery rhymes and verses. There are twenty pages in the book, some with multiple images. Most of the images are in outline form, although there are some printed in color as a guide to the student. The first page contains some brief instructions in verse, including the lines: If you take my advice what is proper to do, / Don't paint the skies red, or the moon blue. None of the images have been filled in.
