Livre Ou Instruction Pour Dessiner Les Paysages: Contenant 108 Gravures A L'Eau Forte
A 1784 drawing manual by Ferdinand Kobell, published in Germany, teaching students to draw landscapes through 108 etchings. The plates are sketched views of rocky outcrops, trees and small buildings, printed on the page with the image rotated sideways. A designer could take from them the habit of building a landscape from a few dark masses of foliage against pale open sky.
