    The Dutch Boy's Lead Party

    Visual Materials

    One promotional painting book by O.C. Harn, published by National Lead Company. The first page shows the Dutch Boy talking to the lead soldier, followed by 14 images--7 in color and 7 in outline--of items that use lead, including a light bulb (lead glass), shoes and baseballs (lead in the rubber), and a bullet (entirely made of lead). Each outlined image was to be filled in using the complementary color image at its side as a guide. Some of the images have been filled in using watercolor. There are four perforated tabs at the end of the book--probably where the "Color Harmony in the Home" booklet, mentioned on the front cover, would have been included before its removal for use by adults.
