New York Artists' Classmanual No. 6, Coloured, Consisting of Twelve Landscapes
Visual Materials
One set of drawing cards entitled New York Artists' Classmanual No. 6, Coloured, consisting of twelve Landscapes, by Ed. Purcell, published by J.C. Riker, 129 Fulton St. [New York]. This set of 12 color lithograph cards consists of nature scenes- such as waterfalls and lakes- and is numbered 13-24. Each scene is signed by Ed. Purcell. Some scenes are vertically oriented on the plate, others are horizontally oriented. These images are printed on paper, rather than a heavier card stock as might be expected of a drawing card. The cards are enclosed in a paper portfolio, which is printed in a brilliant blue and gold; a floral frame surrounds the title and publication information. The lithographer's name is also printed on the portfolio cover, but only the word "Lithog." is readable.
