Der Lehrmeister oder ein allgemeines System der Erziehung: worinne die ersten Grundsätze einer feinen Gelehrsamkeit vorgetragen werden ; In zwölf Abtheilungen: I. Vom Lesen, der Declamation und Schreibart der Briefe. II. Von der Mathematik überhaupt, ...
Der Lehrmeister is a German educational treatise of 1782, compiled from Robert Dodsley's English original by Johann Matthias Schröckh and Johann Jacob Ebert, and written for schoolchildren and tutors. Its plates are engraved geometry diagrams, numbered Fig. 16 through Fig. 71, showing triangles, circles, and inscribed figures with labelled points, alongside a row of classical statues in standing poses. A designer could take clean, precise linework and the logic of construction lines from the diagrams, and the plain contour drawing of draped figures from the statues.
