GLASS PLATES -3-
H1989.716
Three pieces of plate glass, wrapped in brown paper. Glass plates are used for printing on as they don't absorb the paint. Heavy plate glass is the only thing which has an exactly flat surface. These appear unused. The toys were used by Miss Frances Rogers. Miss Rogers, born on 19 Oct 1904, went to Teacher's College in 1930 and joined the Education Department of W.A. in 1934. Between 1934 and her retirement in 1967, she taught at various country schools, took special classes for deaf and dumb children in Mosman Park, and classes for mentally and physically disabled children in Leederville. She also made and purchased a large collection of puppets which were used as teaching aids. These are accessioned under numbers H88/613 to H89/307 (not inclusive).
