About This Item
[Lawrence, MA?]: N/p., 1909. A workbook accomplished by an unnamed but very skilled draftsman for the Botany 101 class taught by Don Soxman in 1909. Octavo. Blank workbook in which the student has drawn 36 very skillful botanical illustrations in pen and colored pencils and accompanied by 40 pp. of text. As we know nothing of the student or the assignment the 36 lovely colored illustrations will have to speak for themselves. Original gray wrappers with string-tied spine. An obviously much younger person has drawn childlike pictures in the versos of 2 pages. As the verso of every text page is blank this does not disturb the flow. A charming remembrance of pre-Internet education.
