Franz Cizek 1865-1946 was an Austrian genre and portrait painter who was also well known as an art teacher and art education reformer particularly when it came to teaching art to children. In 1903 Cizek started a small art school for children ages 4 to 14 with classes each Saturday broken up into two hour blocks the first for the younger students and the second for the older ones. Cizek's students would produce an overwhelming amount of art work which starting in the 1920s was used to promote a variety of childhood charities. Ruth Kalmar attended Cizek's art school between 1926-1930 and in her last year at age fourteen completed the set of ten images seen on the postcards. <br />Ruth Kalmar now Ruth Kalmar Wilson herself would become an artist and designer in her own right traveling the world and teaching at several prominent schools such the Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston Tufts University Harvard University's Art Program for Children and Massachusetts College of Art.

1954S7806No place:: Journal of General Physiology 1954. 1954. 8vo. pp. 729-742. Printed wrappers. Ownership rubber stamp of Norman Horowitz. Fine. Ruth Sager 1918-1997 American geneticist chiefly noted for recognizing the importance of nonchromosomal genes. While at the Rockefeller Institute Sager began to question the traditional belief that all the genes governing heredity were to be found arranged linearly on the chromosomes of cell nuclei. In 1953 she discovered in the alga Chlamydomonas a second genetic-transmitting system: not located on the chromosomes of the alga. This gene governs the cell's sensitivity to the antibiotic streptomycin. Her experiments showed that the many nonchromosomal genes in Chlamydomonas could be passed on by either partner in sexual reproduction that they controlled a variety of hereditary characteristics and that they replicated and remained active through successive generations. In the 1960s research inspired by her pioneering studies showed that chloroplasts and mitochondria in cells of organisms throughout the evolutionary chain contain genetic materials that apparently synthesize proteins and other substances and largely regulate their own development.
