One 32mo, (6)ff booklet, plus four loose cards. The cards are pre-punctured to guide the novice sewer's hand, while the booklet evinces Charles's advancement to freeform embroidered applications of two- and three-dimensional shapes. Given the Pennsylvanian provenance, certainly a sampling of kindergarten Froebel work, here in an usual format, differing from the often-found albums. Booklet ribbon-bound, showing stray staining to covers and some offsetting from threads. Loose cards generically toned, one with adhesive evidence at one side. A very good window into vernacular kindergarten education.
