Paper cutting correlated with the common school branches
A 1922 teaching manual by Bess Dixon, published in Boston and New York by the Educational Publishing Company, showing how paper cutting can support lessons in the common school subjects for classroom pupils. Its pictures are high-contrast white silhouettes on black, such as Pilgrim village scenes, a Christmas-customs panel for Italy, Scandinavia, Holland, Mexico, France and the United States, and a sugar camp of bare trees, offering a clear model for bold cut-paper graphics with simple repeated shapes.
