Card No. 1. Size 16×22 inches. Cardboard is imitation Circassian Walnut lettered in plain white. In lettering on cardboard of this character the student should bear in mind that such board is of necessity an oil finish and that paint with considerable dryer, or printer’s ink mixed with gasoline are best for lettering. Water colors are very unsatisfactory on surfaces of this kind.
This board is a fancy cut-out and may also be procured in the mahogany finish.
Card No. 2. Size 16×22 inches. Plain white cardboard with wall paper mat pasted onto the white board. Space occupied by the lettering was first air-brushed in light green which shows very faintly in the reproduction and this was then lettered with white showcard color, using No. 12 brush.
