[Hand-drawn map by Mary McAllister, School Assignment]

Hand-drawn map on card stock showing Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea. It was drawn by Mary McAllister in Marshall, Texas, for a school assignment. She signed it in the lower left corner and dated it May 5, 1893. Written in pencil in a different hand on the right side of the map is the grade 99 1/2. McAllister was born in June 1889 and would have been 12 years old when she drew the map. On the other side of the card is lithographed: "From M. A. Fine Merchant Tailoring, Sample No." with the number 2959 stamped next. Printed below that are names of different types of clothing with blank lines where the cost of constructing them in the sample fabric could have been filled in. Mary McAllister has written her name twice in pencil on that side of the card, and some additional letters are written on the top, possibly by her. The upper left and lower right corners of the card have been broken off.
