A sketch-style illustration of a 17th-century Salem, Massachusetts dwelling, built of timber framing with a steep pitched roof, leaded-glass casement windows, and a central stone hearth. Inside the dwelling, show 5–6 historically accurate household tools used by a Puritan housewife such as Elizabeth Proctor: a large cast-iron cauldron hanging over the fire, wooden butter churn, loom or spinning wheel, pewter candlestick with tallow candles, wooden wash tub with paddle, and an iron fireplace poker. The scene should be monochrome or sepia-toned, in the style of early American colonial pen-and-ink illustrations.” See more
