Presented to" (printed) "Carrie Martin" (ms.) "By" (printed) "Nellie Earright" (ms.) "Teacher."

  Art in the Nursery

  Visual Materials

  One drawing book entitled Art in the Nursery, published for D. Lothrop & Company, Boston, by John Wilson & Son/University Press, 1879. The front cover shows seven children in a room, three of whom are painting. The image is bordered by flowers. The back cover is an advertisement for The Children's Almanac, by Ella Farman. The title page is subtitled Pictures for Baby to draw and Pictures for Baby to laugh at. Opposite the title page is an image of a laughing Santa Claus. The book appears to be a slightly different, smaller, edition of the same book in box 30, Env. 15. There are 29 images, as opposed to 61; sheets of tissue paper have been inserted between the images; and some of the images, both slate and comical, differ from those in Env. 15. Twelve of the images are done in white on black with a wood border--mimicking images drawn on slates with chalk. These images were intended for the children to copy onto their own slates. The other 17 images are children at play, or anthropomorphised animals at play, with amusing captions. Many of the images are signed by the artists, including J G Francis, Palmer Cox, and "Koz". The first comical image has been traced onto the tissue paper insert with pencil. On the inside cover, written in ms., in pencil, is an inscription "Franklin, from Aunt Eunice" and above it, also in pencil, "1879."
