Author was 'an instructor in drawing and painting', a 'lecturer on the drawing and construction of the human figure'. The book reflects this. The text offers a detailed description of how to draw the human figure, broken into its component parts, from torso ('torse' then) to nose to hands to eyes and every other part. Sketches with careful shading and black and white plates are plentiful. Holds author's printed signature. Orange/tan cloth-covered boards with brown writing and illustration, a little worn and with noticeable brown markings; binding good; endpapers with a small scattering of spots; text appears clean. In very good condition for its age. 147 pages are followed by 12 more plates, unnumbered.
