Royal gifts for the kindergarten; a manual for self instruction in Friedrich Frbel's principles of education
A late nineteenth-century American manual by Frances Post Van Norstrand and Alice H. Putnam, published in Chicago in 1889, teaching kindergarten teachers and parents to use Friedrich Froebel's play materials and principles. The pictures are small black-and-white line engravings of children at play and outdoors, in plain, quiet scenes that suggest the gentle, observational tone of Froebel-era schooling and could inspire simple, sketchy illustration for educational or nostalgic designs.
