The progressive art guide (without a teacher) [microform] : an entirely new method of self-instruction on modern arts, shown in their progressive stages of completion
The Progressive Art Guide (Without a Teacher) is a self-instruction manual for amateur painting and needlework, compiled by J. H. Raycroft, Minnie Cron Wheeler and J. Young and published in Toronto and St. John, New Brunswick, in 1888. Its pictures are plain black-and-white line sketches and stitched-style floral studies that show learners the stages of a work, so a designer could borrow their step-by-step structure for tutorial layouts or botanical motifs.
