About this Item

48 coloured plates. Third Edition (revised). Small 4to. [205 x 165 x 10 mm]. 102, [2] pp. Bound in publisher's original blue cloth, the front cover printed in blue to a pictorial design, and lettered on the spine, decorated endleaves, plain edges. A very good copy. COPAC and WorldCat between them locate four copies of the first edition of 1903, at the British Library, Cambridge, National Library of Scotland and National Library of Israel, and no copies of subsequent editions. The fine colour plates seem out of keeping with the regular images of chalk, but the author explains: "Drawing on tinted paper with coloured chalks appeals directly to the senses of the child, who feels that it has produced something real, a picture, a representation of something which it has, perhaps, often seen and handled, and, in this way, the young pupil is encouraged to new and greater effort".
