Prang's Aids for Object Teaching was a set of color lithographs published by Louis Prang & Company of Boston, and this sheet turns to the kitchen, a room most schoolchildren of the period would have recognized from home. Prang, a German-born printmaker who became one of the leading American lithographers of the nineteenth century, produced these charts for classroom use so that teachers could hold up a picture and talk students through the everyday objects around them. Here the cookstove, cooking pots, and utensils are arranged to be named, counted, and compared. The print offers a useful window into domestic life in the 1870s, when the iron cookstove had become standard in American homes.
