How to Draw: The Right and The Wrong Way
Visual Materials
One art instruction book entitled How to Draw: The Right and The Wrong Way, by A.S. Avery, published by The University Publishing Co., New York and Baltimore, copyright 1872. Also on the title page: "Illustrated with over one hundred figures. Adapted for use in public and private schools, and prepared expressly for all persons who do not know how to draw, but would like to learn." This book is comprised of 14 individual lessons, each of which consists of an illustrated (lithograph) plate and a numbered half-page of textual guidelines and instruction. The lessons are progressive in that each one builds upon the previous lesson, and they range from basic and introductory to more complex. For example, Lesson 1 is devoted to drawing straight lines; Lesson 4 is for shading "to give more boldness to the figures..."; Lesson 7 is a continuation of learning curved lines, and Lesson 14 is to draw a scene in which an old castle is the focal point. The front cover is elaborately decorated and illustrated; the title and cover vignette are framed by a stick-and-ivy pattern. The vignette pictures three children who are studying and drawing a house. The vignette is signed "Bobbett". On the back cover is a publisher's advertisement for "The Original Duntonian System of Rapid Writing", with a sample page from "Dunton's Drill Exercises in Movement". The insides of the front and back covers are blank. On the verso of the title page is a two-column list of drawing terms and definitions. "Presented to E.J. Loomis by the Author, A.S. Avery. October 1874" is written in ms., in ink, on the upper right-hand corner of the front cover.
