Oliver and Boyd's Object-Lesson Cards
Visual Materials
One originally boxed set of 20 instructional cards. A paper label, mounted to the underside of the lid, reads: "Oliver and Boyd's Object-Lesson Cards on the Vegetable, Animal and Mineral Kingdoms ... Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd. London: Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent and Co., Limited." The cards number 1-14 (number 8 is missing) and chiefly include animal and mineral subjects. Each card describes a raw material's source, and traces its manufacturing process to the finished product or products, with a woodblock engraving of the subject. Several pieces of realia are mounted near the image, and a listing of related trades and uses of the item is below that. Note: Cards have been removed from original wooden box and rehoused.
