Purposeful handwork

McKee, Jane W. (Jane Wright), b. 1894 · 1922 · New York, The Macmillan company · 13 pictures

Purposeful Handwork, a 1922 New York handicraft manual by Jane W. McKee, written for kindergarten teachers and children. The plates show numbered geometric paper-folding and cutting diagrams, with dashed fold lines, labelled corner points and simple outlined objects. A designer could take from them the clean line-diagram vocabulary of folds, dissections and construction marks.
