  Visual Materials

  Twelve 24-page drawing books by John S. Clark, Mary Dana Hicks, and Walter S. Perry, published by Prang Educational Company, Boston, New York and Chicago. Book No. 3 is lacking, and there are duplicate copies of Nos. 2, 4 and 5, although the previous owners (students) differ for each. All twelve books contain drill exercises on the first 2 pages and numbered exercises on the remainder. The exercises in the earlier books emphasize correct use of lines, both curved and straight, through copying of sample (lithographed) images. The exercises in some of the later books are significantly more complex and focus more on perspective, representation and light and shade. Some of the exercises include: leaves, fruit, decorative designs, plants, geometric shapes and forms, architectural details, buildings and scenes. Most of the books have been at least partially, if not wholly, completed by previous owners.
