Large archive of 61 School Merit Awards and other late 19th Century cards. Each card sizes range from 2.5" x 1.5" to 5" x 2.5." These small illustrated cards were given to students as tokens of congratulations and scholastic achievement. Illustrations include snowy scenes, nature landscapes, children, dogs, flowers, and birds. Rewards of merit, in addition to being examples of a nineteenth century classroom tool, reveal the progress of printing in America as well as the priorities of educators of the time. Illustrations include snowy scenes, nature landscapes, children, churches, flowers, and birds. Many of them are signed with the student' names. Beautiful archive in very good condition. A few of these cards were given in condolence to grieving relatives of a deceased loved one, but the vast majority were for School Merit Awards. Beautiful and in very good condition.
