[Emblematical drawing of Marie Stewart, wife of John Erskine, Earl of Mar] : [graphic]
Rare Books
A pen and ink emblematical drawing of Marie Stewart (approximately 1582-1644), the wife of John Erskine, Earl of Mar, building a brick edifice, with dividers, measure rule and angle-iron; headed "Sapiens Mvlier Aedificat Domv[m]". Signed by Esther Inglis. A dedicatory verse in Latin by Inglis' husband, Bartholomew Kello, to John, Earl of Mar (1558-1634), is at the head of the drawing. Two verses to Marie Stewart, one in Latin and the other in French follow the drawing. The Latin verse is probably by Kello, the French verse is copied from the one accompanying this image in Montenay's Emblemes. There it applies to Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre. Inglis changes the word "Reine" to "Dame," referring to the Countess of Mar. The image and subject was previously misidentified as Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots (1542-1587).

Coe’s New Drawing Lessons, No. IV, Drawing for Schools
Visual Materials
One set of drawing cards entitled Coe’s New Drawing Lessons, No. IV, Drawing for Schools, by Benjamin H. Coe, printed by D. Appleton & Co., New York, 1858. The envelope label also includes the subtitle "A Method by which all the M[emb]ers of a Large Class are taught to Draw at [once] with Neatness, Uniformity, and Accuracy." Also on the label, in pencil, is the note "This not in Drepperd". The cards are divided into four groups as listed on the label: No. 1. Perpendicular and Horizontal Lines; No. 2. Oblique and Curved Lines; No. 3. Curved Lines and Introduction to Landscape; and No. 4. Studies in Landscape. There are 47 drawing cards--all single-sided-- depicting landscapes and simple architectural outlines. Some of the cards have numbers either in the upper left-hand or the upper-right hand corners: other cards have no numbers, merely the image. It is highly probable that the cards are an amalgam of several different sets.
