$5.00
Antique child's 1918 encyclopedia page titled "The Art of Swimming and Diving."

Black and white original (not a photocopy) book page suitable for framing or for altered art.

Caption begins: The photographs on this page give the different positions used in diving and swimming, and also some of the fancy tricks which we can all learn. How graceful it is possible to look in diving from a height is shown in 1, where the body is in almost a straight line. (Caption goes on, explaining all 17 swimming and diving positions.)

This is the original page so on the back of this page is more original ephemera, which you can copy to use in another piece. It is titled "A Fleet of Little Boats" and shows 7 pictures and captions of boats including an egg-shell sailing boat and a walnut-shell boat. See third picture.

I'll include 5 text pages from this child's encyclopedia as a bonus for your altered art, decoupage, craft projects.
