About this Item
A program for the year end art exhibition of a free evening drawing school located in North Adams, MA. The class was taught by A. W. Scribner, a local 'Artistic Designer and Draughtsman'. The inside front and back covers list the names of the students exhibiting their work, along with a number that correspond with the works of art that were being presented. Additionally on the back cover there is a list of the graduating class and the course's motto: Ars Soror Scientiae (Latin for 'Art Science Sister'). In order to pay for this program, Scribner filled the booklet with advertisements from various local businesses in or around North Adams. Scribner himself, designed and illustrated all of the highly decorative and elaborate advertisements within, which then serve as a form of self-advertisement. Furthermore, there is even an advertisement for the drawing school and Scribner's business as well. Additionally, there are also several humorous drawings done by Scribner that were done to fill space as needed. For example, there is a short comic strip that shows a cat on a fence, with the question "I wonder what makes the cat so sad?". The next box shows the other side of the fence which depicts a crab that has pinched the cat's tail. 8 pg. Illustrated tan wrappers. String binding. Measures 7 3/4" x 4 3/4" Minor missing surface litho on covers. Age toning. Seller Inventory # 28013200
