Handy hands book
A 1924 activity book published in New York by John Martin's Book House, compiled for children and offering craft and amusement projects. Its pictures are simple black-line vignettes on a tan ground: a girl decorating a cake, paper frames with hearts and flowers, a framed tree in a landscape, and a folded paper diagram with a caption. A designer could take the economical cartoon line work, decorative borders and cut-paper style frames as a model for simple child-friendly graphics.
