It produced rotogravure pictures on good quality stock paper useful for children illustrating school projects and reports in art, history, geography, etc.1 It was founded in 1897 and lasted probably to the mid-fifties. Its business was mostly mail order from a catalog. I grew up in Malden and used to visit the company in person. It was located in a old building in a side street. You climbed a flight of rickety stairs to visit the office, peruse the catalog, and make purchases. I still have a few 5x7 pictures (Roman antiquity) in my possession." Envelope is approx. 6" x 8 1/2." Overall the Whitman print is approx. 5 1/2" x 8"; smaller prints are approx. 3" x 3 1/2".Writing in pencil on envelope and back of each print. Some toning, aging, handling, wear - see photos.
