ABC Painting Reading Book, 1934

Posted on July 13, 2012July 12, 2012 by Martha

There are only two pages left to clean up in this book.  It turns out that the child who received this cute book decided to color not only the outline pages, but several of the example pages as well, which I hadn’t noticed at first and which was annoying because the crayon has to be erased and the image is more difficult to clean up in Photoshop.  At least it was crayon and not paint.

I think it’s odd that the illustrators (or maybe the publishers) of these old paint books from the 20s and 30s thought that children needed to be shown how to color the pages, but I’m glad they did because the example pages are usually untouched.  That looks like Benjamin Franklin as the uncle.

    These are so neat and yes the uncle looks like Ben Franklin. Here is my question, how do you clean these and your transfers up? They look so neat and I wonder if you use adobe or something like that. I’d love to share more of what I have but I can never get them to look nice enough…..
    Anyway, thanks for sharing, love the Royal Society transfers!
    Hugs, Mickie
