This exceptionally large and complete teaching scroll measures approximately 13 ½ feet long by 18 ¾ inches wide and was part of the early Chautauqua Equipment system for instruction in American industry, commerce, and community development.
This rare early example features vivid and detailed illustrations of:
• Home City and community planning
• Factories, mines, farming, shipping and manufacturing
• Airways, railways, highways and waterways
• Early business education and shorthand
• Children, alphabet and early learning lessons
• Electricity and circuits
Full scrolls in intact condition are seldom found, and this one retains crisp imagery and excellent color throughout. A superb and highly displayable example of early twentieth century educational and industrial illustration.
Condition
Very good for age with expected surface wear and mild water staining from storage and use. The scroll remains complete and structurally sound. Please review all photos as they are part of the description.
A remarkable piece of American schoolhouse history and industrial arts design. Beautiful for display, framing, or preservation.
