Set of nine drawing cards, circa 1890-1915

Description
One set of nine drawing cards, untitled, some unnumbered, ca. 1890-1915. Eight of the 9 cards contain several color lithograph images printed against a light blue grid background. It appears that the cards had been numbered in the top left-hand corner, but most of the numbers have been cropped off. The individual images themselves are numbered; 1-9 on the first sheet; 10-18 on the second; 23-29 on the third; 30-34 on the fourth; 41-46 on the fifth; 51-60 on the sixth; 61-68 on the seventh; 69-74 on the eighth, and 75-83 on the ninth and last leaf. From this information, it is apparent that at least 3 cards are missing from the set: those with images 19-22, 35-40, and 47-50. Some of the images included are: fruit and vegetables, an American flag with 13 stars, geometric patterns and designs, 3-dimensional shapes, farming tools, and insects. There is no title, publication information, nor date printed on any of the cards. Title supplied by cataloger.
