  Books without Words. (Volume First)--Color and Form

  Visual Materials

  One set of paper weavings created by Emily M. Coe, ca. 1880. The set is comprised of five "books," plus three loose "pages" of paper weavings "manufactured only by Emily M. Coe, New York, originator of American Kindergarten System." They are marked "No. 1"-"No. 4"; only the 5th book is unnumbered. There are a total of 23 paper weavings, four per book plus the three loose pages. Each "book" has its title on the bottom of the third page, such as "Primary Colors--Curvilinear Solids," the first part of the title refers to the four paper weavings, the latter, the printed objects on the reverse of each page. For example, Book "No. 1,", "Primary Colors--Curvilinear Solids" has one page labeled "Blue" showing two tones of blue woven together, and on the reverse a shaded ball; the next is "Yellow" showing yellow and black interwoven, on the reverse a shaded oval; the third is "Red" showing red and a russet color mixed, with a shaded cylinder; and the last page is "Mixed Primaries" showing color changes as primaries mix, and on the reverse a shaded cone. The other "books" are labeled: No. 2, "Secondary Colors--Rectilinear Solids"; No. 3, "Complimentary Colors and Quadrangles"; No. 4, "Tertiary Colors--Polygons"; and the fifth, "Mixed Tertiaries--Triangles". The fourth paper weaving in each of the books is somewhat different than the others. In Books 3-5 there are black and gold weavings entitled "Fancy", with the weavings from 4 and 5 spelling out the words "FOR MA" and "FOR PAPA" respectively. Also of note: in the corners of the first drawing image are trademarks in the upper right and left corners, on the bottom corners are reproductions of a medal, one side of which reads "International Exhibition, Philadelphia MDCCCLXXVI". "Miss Ida Young[?]" is written, in ms., on top of the unnumbered fifth book.
