Log Book #1 -
List of Carvings and Hours Used to Complete Carvings 1931-1937 |
The entries in
this Log Book #1 of Pauline Miller Cowan record the many pieces of work she
completed while employed by the Tryon Toy Makers and Carvers. She enters
the specific name of the carving and generally records the hours she spent
completing the work and the date of completion. She signals the end of the
project by the use of the word "Fini" after she had fully executed the
project.
This log book , measuring 3 1/2" x 6", contains 174 pages and each page,
including blank pages, are recorded in this list in brief form and with
accompanying image that may be reviewed for the contents of the full
page. There are 108 scanned images from this Log Book #1.Unique sequential
numbers are given to each scanned page. The scanned image number does not
necessarily correspond to the page number in Log Book # 1, but represents a unique
identifying number used for image identification and retrieval.
