From the Jane Johnson's personal Manuscript Nursery Library
(c. 1740-1759) at Indiana University. All 438 items are hand drawn and colored for her son as teaching items. I love this one and wish I could see all the others.
Pam, It certainly is and so long ago. She must have been well educated herself and wanted to make sure her children were too and she made it fun with her amazing artwork. xo, Rosemary

Lovely artwork, Rosemary. I've had a look online and Jane's work is available to see on this database .... https://libraries.indiana.edu/databases/jane There's a lot to look at and not easy to navigate but with a little time and patience .......

Now that's a great example of a mother's commitment to her children's education.
