The progressive art guide (without a teacher) [microform] : an entirely new method of self-instruction on modern arts, shown in their progressive stages of completion
The Progressive Art Guide (Without a Teacher) is a self-instruction manual on painting and needlework, compiled by J. H. Raycroft, Minnie Cron Wheeler and J. Young and published in Toronto and St. John, New Brunswick, in 1888 for amateur home learners. Its pictures are plain black-and-white plates of flowers, sofa cushions and thistle-and-poppy motifs, showing stages of design a designer could borrow for embroidery or stencil patterns.
