Hand-colored pre-linen interior view of the Reception Room and Main Office of the Spencerian Commercial School, Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio — one of the most famous American penmanship and business schools of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (founded 1848, closed 1925). The room is handsomely appointed with wicker furniture, Persian rugs, tropical palms, an American flag, crystal chandeliers, dark wood columns, and framed certificates on the green walls. The Spencerian School was nationally famous for teaching the Spencerian script system and business skills. An unposted souvenir card from the institution, with a charming pencil inscription in a child's handwriting on the back: "WE ALL SEND LOVE AND [?] / DEAR AUNT [?] / ANON"
