Vintage 1920s School Drawing Books
This collection comprises three and one loose page from 1920s school drawing books. The covers are a mix of blue and brown, with embossed detailing and the title “DRAWING BOOK” prominently displayed. One book features a name and date inscription on the inside cover: “Name: Alfred Robertson, Date: 17th October 1924”. The loose page contains a child’s drawing of a bed and accompanying handwritten text, offering a charming glimpse into a young student’s creative work.
Condition and Collectibility
These books exhibit signs of age and use, with wear to the covers, foxing, and some loose pages. Despite this, they remain remarkably well-preserved, offering a fascinating insight into educational practices of the 1920s. The books’ originality and historical significance make them highly desirable for collectors of ephemera, vintage school items, and those interested in the history of education and childhood.
