Colour illustrated lithograph softcovers, cover art by William Medcalf (1920-2005), noted pinup, portrait, and landscape painter, perhaps best remembered for his pinup calendar art generated for Brown & Bigelow (minor soiling to fore-edges of couple leaves, back cover fore-edge, very minor edgewear), still VG bright copy. First edition of this unexpectedly scarce catalogue and promotion for the famed Art Instruction, Inc. (Federal School of Applied Cartooning) which in 1950 featured the famed "Peanuts" cartoonist Charles M. Schulz on the faculty, along with his inspiring fellow instructors, Charlie Brown, Linus Maurer, and Frieda Rich. Founded originally in 1914 as a branch of the Bureau of Engraving to train illustrators for the print industry, and for the Bureau itself, the school taught correspondence courses in cartooning, colour, comics, composition, perspective, graphic design, art techniques, photography, bookbinding, as well as business practices, and served for decades as a key supplier to magazines and newspaper, commercial advertising firms, and publishers. Textbooks featured contributions from such artists as Edward Shenton, Aldren Atson, Cyrus LeRoya Baldridge, Walter Klett, Joyce Kester, Beatrice Urbieta, Gertrude Coffin, Hugh Hutton, and others. Schulz remained with the school only a few more months after the publication of this catalogue, and by 1952, when the popularity of the Peanuts comic books took off hired former fellow instructors Dale Hale, Jim Sasseville, and Tony Pocrnich to focuson the comic books, while he continued to ink the Peanuts strip.
