The Contents of a Ladies Dressing Case circa 1870 Drawn by Hand Paper Lesson Reminder Novelty Collection Jim Linderman


A lovely little trick calligraphic game for the ladies.  Each titled object in a women's purse lifts up to reveal a sentiment, a thought, a reminder.  For example, lifting up "A Mirror" reveals the answer "Reflection" underneath.  "A Relief for Deafness" lifts up to reveal "Attention" and "A General Beautifier" lifts up to reveal "Good Humor" which is, as are all, just as true today as they were when this little folk art piece was made.  Likely by a mother as lessons for her child.  

Folk Art "Reminder" Paper Game circa 1870.  Collection Jim Linderman
