New ideas for American boys; the Jack of all trades
A boys' how-to book by Daniel Carter Beard, published in New York by C. Scribner's Sons in 1900, offering home-made amusements and projects for American boys. The pictures are plain line drawings with numbered figures showing a frame or stand, a wooden trestle with a toy railway and car, a dissection puzzle with lettered pieces, and a flat board with a curved cut edge, which suggests simple construction diagrams a designer could use for vintage handmade or craft motifs.
