Lectures on sculpture
John Flaxman's Lectures on Sculpture, published in London by J. Murray in 1829, is a printed set of lectures on the art of sculpture, illustrated with plates for students and practising artists. The plates are mostly pencil-like line drawings of figures in movement, classical statuary, and draped standing forms, with some pages turned sideways as printed. A designer might take from them the study of drapery falling over the body and the simple contour lines used to describe the human form.
