120 pp. Translated from the original 1901 German edition. Here are 256 magnificent life-like illustrations of animals--furnishing you with a clear, easy-to-follow method of increasing your skill in animal portrayal. First, there are outside views of each creature, showing clearly the muscular shapes, the pattern of hair growth, the details of the eye, nostril, ear, foot, etc. Secondly, a beneath-the-skin view of each posture is illustrated to make the origin and insertions of each muscle plain. Finally, the skeleton is pictured, with each bone identified. In addition, there are cross-section drawings of those internal organs which are of interest to artists.--jacket
