content: Found is a scrapbook of lecture notes and student exercises for the 1902-1903 class on design taught by Edna Boies at the Veltin School for Girls. The chronologically arranged lecture notes are composed of directions, information, and inspirational quotes. Topics covered include Japanese prints, the elements of good design, the Parthenon, Giotto, and the early Renaissance. Assignments and class exercises include the designing of a class pin, good composition using mass and line, designing vases, covered bowls, jewelry and lamps. Included in the scrapbook are Boies's own exercise samples, tracings of exercises produced by students, critiques of class work, poems, an introductory essay on Japanese prints, and clippings from a student newspaper, The Owl, with reviews of a lecture series delivered by Royal Cortissoz during the school year. Of note are designs for lamps and spoons by Beth Averell, Boies, Rebecca Foulke, Lillian Link, Constance Knowles, Rosine Raoul, and Harriet Townsend.
