Johnson, Benjamin Wiley, 1869- · 1909 · Peoria, Ill., The Manual Arts Press · 11 pictures

A manual-training handbook by Benjamin Wiley Johnson, published by the Manual Arts Press in Peoria, Illinois, in 1909, for schoolteachers running coping-saw and woodwork classes for children. The plates are hand-lettered pen drawings combining flat animal and toy silhouettes with dimensioned cutting diagrams, dashed fold and pivot lines, and handwritten notes, useful for cut-out animal outlines, jointed toy figures, and drafting-style annotation.
