| As part of her own research,
Betsy has collected numerous original pieces of American School Girl Art.
Where appropriate, hand marbleized papers line the bottoms of boxes, painted
velvet or silk padded cushions line the lids and pincushions, and various
layouts of divisions, segment several of the pieces. She is pleased to
offer exacting reproductions from her collection, crafted using the same
techniques as centuries ago.
The items below are Betsy's reproductions of original School Girl Art.
Pictures of the actual original are included in the small thumbnail images.
