    Slate Pictures

    Visual Materials

    Five booklets of bound drawing cards published by L. Prang & Co., Boston (of which three are copyright 1863). These are entitled Slate Pictures: Drawing School for Beginners, numbered "2"(2 copies), "4", "6". The fifth booklet is entitled Slate Pictures for the useful selfemployment (sic) of young children and is numbered "II". While the first three booklets were clearly published by Prang, the fourth has no date and no manufacturer, and may be a European import. The back cover of the three Prang booklets have an advertisement for other Prang publications. All of the books have a similar green and white cover, and similar content. Of the images in the booklets, all are white on a black background, simulating drawing on slate with chalk. The images depict a variety of items and scenes including tools, weapons, landscapes, people, and animals. There are numerous pencil markings on the booklets, along with the names, in pencil, of "Eva L. Wheeler, Charleston, Mass." (inside cover, book number 4) and "Florence Mary (or May) Hubbard" (back cover, book number 6).
