A Novel Arrangement of Book for Teaching Children the Elementary
Art of Drawing and Sketching.
We, WALTER STRANDERS, of 1 St. Thomas Road, Finsbury Park, Middlesex,
Inventor, and HENRY JOHN DAVIS, Partner in the firm Faudel Phillips and Sons,
of 36 to 40 Newgate Street, City of London, Warehousemen, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The invention relates to the manufacture of a book with;
1. Stiff covers. 2. A glass leaf foldable from the front edge of one cover and
protected round the edges. 3. Specimen sheets of outline drawings or sketches
looped to an elastic, or other cord in the inner back, the front edge of both covers
having loops for holding a pencil which when in place secures the book in a
closed state.
By the arrangement or combination of the several parts the book can be kept
intact, the glass from being broken, and the sheets of drawings or sketching
preserved flat, the looping of them to the back cord giving free access for shifting,
or for throwing them over to a position under the glass to be copied.
The glass is slightly roughened on the upper surface for taking the pencil and
from which the marks can be removed by a moist sponge when it is desired that
another picture be copied.

Inventor, and HENRY JOHN DAVIS, partner in the firm Faudel Phillips and Sons,
of 36 to 40 Newgate Street, City of London, Warehousemen, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The invention relates to the manufacture of a book consisting of (1) stiff covers
(2) a glass leaf foldable from the front of one cover and suitably protected round
the edges. The glass leaf is secured to the front edge of one cover of the book
by means of a binding of cloth which cloth is fastened to the glass leaf and to the
front edge of the one cover with gum or glue or any other suitable substance.
The glass leaf thus forming with the two stiff covers aforesaid a "threefold"
article. 3. Specimen sheets of outline drawings or sketches looped to an elastic or
other cord, in the inner back. The front edge of both covers can be made with or
without loops for holding a pencil, which, when in place, secures the book in a
closed state. A band of elastic, or any other appliance may be used for keeping
the book closed.
By the arrangement or combination of the several parts, the book can be kept
intact, the glass from being broken, and the sheets of drawings or sketchings
preserved flat, the looping of them to the back cord giving free access for shifting,
or for throwing them over to a position under the glass to be copied.
The glass is slightly roughened on the upper surface for taking the pencil, and
