One painting book entitled The Wild Animal ABC Painting Book, published by Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd., 1895. The front cover shows a boy standing on a short ladder, painting the book's title on an elephant. The upper right hand corner has been cut out to conform to the elephant's forehead. The back cover had some printing, most has disappeared due to water damage, but it appears to have contained publication information. The book, printed in Bavaria, contains twenty pages of images tied to corresponding letters and text. (For example, "B is for Beaver who builds a mud home.") The majority of the images in the book are in outline form, although some are printed with a matching color image to help guide the student in the use of color. Some of the images have been painted in with watercolor.
