1879: McGuffey’s Third Eclectic Reader

In 1875, Farny began supplying images for the McGuffey’s readers. The McGuffey readers were well known by then, having been teaching kids to read since the 1830s. Learn more information on this early history on the McGuffey’s First Eclectic Reader post.

Below are the Farny illustrations that appear in the McGuffey’s Third Eclectic Reader. The captions include page numbers and the illustration names that appear in the Table of Contents, which also lists the illustrator (page iii of book).
