Summary
A drawing aid comprising a rectangular wooden frame surrounding a sheet of glass. Behind the glass is a printed image of a girl on horseback looking down at two dogs. One appears to be holding the girl's hat in its mouth. The sheet of glass is broken into three pieces and has slipped. As a result, the pencil tracing on the glass does not align with the printed image underneath. On the reverse are two adjustable wooden bars which would enable one to remove the wooden backing board and insert a different printed picture.
