The Prize Painting Book: Good Times

Excerpt from The Prize Painting Book: Good TimesThe paper has been expressly manufactured for water-color work. The outline designs have been drawn with a view to their being filled in with color. In a number of cases these outline pages are faced by their facsimiles, as colored by Miss Wheeler, and these color pages serve both to guide the worker and to render the book bright and attractive.An interesting feature is the leaving one page entirely blank, that an original design, suited to the text on the opposite page, may be put upon it in such shape and color as the ingenuity and taste of the competitor may suggest.The prizes will be awarded Sept. Ist, 1883, thus giving ample time for thorough work, and any child, not over sixteen years of age, can compete for them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
