| Catalog Notes | Cover title: Linear drawing, adapted to the public schools. Probably by Louisa Davis Minot. AAS copy A bears the hand-written inscription just above the statement of responsibility (apparently in nineteenth-century hand), "Mrs. Minot." The introduction contains a defense of the teaching of linear drawing in the public schools by female art teachers. The introduction ends with a discussion on p. viii of an experiment in art education made by "a lady" teaching 50 pupils at "the Franklin School during the past winter, (1838-9)." According to James Jackson Minot in his Ancestors and descendants of George Richards Minot (1936), p. 19, Louisa Davis Minot was "for many years president of the Franklin Infant School." J.J. Minot further writes, "Her popular treatise on perspective is admirable for the exactness and clearness of its instruction." Copyright 1841 by E.P. Peabody. "S.N. Dickinson, printer, 52 Washington-St. Boston."--verso of title page. |
