The Artist's repository; or, Encyclopedia of the fine arts
An early nineteenth-century London art encyclopedia compiled by C. Taylor in 1813 for artists and students, drawn from the Getty Research Institute's copy. Its plates are pencil and stipple studies of facial anatomy, showing profiles, a three-quarter view of a head tilted upward with construction lines, and a child's head with a hatched background and grid guides; a designer might take from them the use of measured guidelines and hatching to build up a face.
