The Art Student's Guide to the Bones and Muscles of the Human Body: and Lessons on Foreshortening

A republication of Dr. Johann Gottfried Schadow's book which he designed for the benefit of his students at the Berlin Art Academy. It combines studies of anatomy based on his knowledge and the engravings of Bernhard Siegfried Albinus with three plates on human proportions plus detailed studies of the head tilted in different directions to demonstrate the effects of foreshortening. The book continues to be an extraordinarily useful tool for art students.
