Graystone Bird, England

in stock of Thomas Mason, dates unknown

in stock of Newton & Co., 1937 (item ref. CPY)

possibly same as Child studies (miscellaneous: manufacturer unknown, 122 slides, n.d.)

see also Gems of art: series 1 (miscellaneous: Graystone Bird, 50 slides, in/before 1906)

This long list of artistic child studies was probably added to over many years. A selection of slides up to number C68 are mentioned in Riley Brothers' catalogue in 1906; the full list of 212 appears in the 1937 Newton & Co. catalogue under the alternative title Studies of little children.

The numbering of the slides here is from the Newton catalogue list, but slides C17 and above (C16 is missing from the Newton list) are listed in the Riley catalogue with Graystone Bird's numbers 1 lower than those given here, suggesting that an extra slide was added to the early part of the list at some stage.

There may have been two slides numbered C67: the slide titled 'It's naughty, but it's nice' is in the Riley catalogue but not in the Newton list, where it is replaced by 'Stolen fruit', although that could just be an alternative title for the same image.
